Dental Fillings
When it comes to protecting your teeth and ensuring long-term oral health, dental fillings are one of the most effective treatments available. Cavities are caused by harmful bacteria that break down the protective enamel on your teeth. If left untreated, they can lead to further decay, discomfort, and even tooth loss. At Teeth and Beauty, we offer state-of-the-art solutions for cavity treatment, helping you maintain optimal dental hygiene and a healthy smile.
Gone are the days of outdated metal fillings. Today, we use advanced, tooth-colored composite resin to restore your teeth. This material not only provides a safe and reliable option for addressing cavities, but it also blends seamlessly with your natural teeth, preserving your smile’s appearance and health.
Why Choose Composite Resin Fillings?
Composite resin fillings are a modern approach to general dentistry that deliver superior benefits:
- Natural Appearance: The tooth-colored material mimics the look and feel of your natural teeth, making your filling virtually invisible.
- Strong Bond: Unlike metal fillings, composite resin adheres securely to your tooth structure, providing better durability and protection against further decay.
- Safer Materials: Free from mercury and other metals, composite resin is a healthier choice for both your mouth and your overall well-being.
If you have old metal fillings, we can also replace them with composite resin to give you a healthier, more natural-looking smile.
The Dental Filling Process
At Teeth and Beauty, we make the process of receiving a dental filling quick, comfortable, and stress-free. Here’s what you can expect:
Preparation: Your dentist will begin by gently numbing the treatment area with a local anesthetic. This ensures you remain completely comfortable and relaxed throughout the entire procedure.
Removing Decay: With the area fully numb, your dentist will meticulously remove the damaged or decayed portion of the tooth using precise, advanced instruments. This critical step halts the progression of decay and lays the foundation for a durable and long-lasting filling.
Filling Application: The cavity is filled with layers of composite resin. This material is precisely shaped to match your tooth’s contours and then hardened with a specialized curing light.
Finishing Touches: Finally, your dentist polishes and smooths the filling to blend perfectly with your natural teeth. The result is a strong, natural-looking restoration that feels comfortable and looks great.
Post-Treatment Care
After your filling is complete, you can resume your day as normal. While you may notice slight sensitivity to hot or cold foods for a few days, this typically resolves quickly. To ensure your filling lasts for years to come, maintain excellent oral hygiene habits, including:
- Brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste.
- Flossing daily to remove debris and plaque and prevent decay.
- Scheduling regular dental exams and professional cleanings.
