When Is Dental Filling Needed
Dental cavities are one of the most prevalent oral health issues that affect children and adults alike. If a cavity is left untreated for too long, harmful bacteria in the oral cavity can damage the remaining structure of your teeth and cause pulp infection. For this reason, Dr. Thorn provides durable fillings to restore the tooth structure.
Apart from cavities, dental fillings can also be used for:
- Chipped teeth
- Broken teeth
- Worn-out teeth
- Minor gaps between teeth
- Root caries
- Restoration of root-canal-treated teeth
Benefits of Tooth-Colored Fillings
For many years, amalgam (or silver fillings) has been the preferred choice for restoring decayed teeth. Our dentists, however, use tooth-colored composite fillings as they provide more aesthetic results. Other benefits include:
- Natural-looking appearance: Unlike amalgam, composite seamlessly blends with the color of your teeth, giving a more natural and realistic appearance.
- Long-lasting: They are highly durable and can last for many years when maintained with proper oral care.
- Reduced sensitivity: Composite fillings do not conduct heat and act as an insulating shield for decayed or sensitive teeth.
- Improved oral functions: With restored teeth, you can eat, chew, speak, and smile with greater ease and comfort.
Our Procedure for Dental Fillings
Once our dentist examines your teeth, we will create a treatment plan to restore their health and appearance. At the start of the filling procedure, we will inject a local anesthetic to ensure you remain comfortable while we remove the damaged or decayed parts of the affected tooth.
Once the tooth preparation is complete, our dentist will place composite resin and mold it to recreate the natural contours of your teeth. The material is hardened using a special curing light.
We will ask you to bite your teeth and ensure the filling has no high spots or rough edges that may cause discomfort later on.
