About dental filling treatment

Dental fillings are routine dental procedures that address cavities and damaged teeth. Dentists use various filling materials, such as amalgam, composite resin, and temporary dental filling, to restore tooth integrity and function. The dental filling process typically involves removing decayed portions of the tooth and filling the area with the chosen material. This helps maintain oral health and prevent further deterioration, ensuring teeth retain their natural appearance and functionality.

Diagnosis

Dental fillings are typically used to treat cavities (dental caries). The process of diagnosis involves:

  • Clinical Examination: Your dentist will visually inspect your teeth and may use a dental mirror and other tools to check for signs of decay. They will also inquire about any symptoms you may be experiencing, such as tooth sensitivity or pain.
  • X-rays: X-rays are often used to provide a more detailed view of the affected tooth and to confirm the presence and extent of the cavity.
Procedure for Dental Fillings

Once a cavity is diagnosed, your dentist will proceed with the filling procedure:

  • Anesthesia: Local anesthesia is administered to numb the area around the affected tooth. This ensures you don't feel pain during the procedure.
  • Tooth Preparation: The dentist will use a dental drill or laser to remove the decayed portion of the tooth. This creates a clean and healthy space for the filling material.
Filling Material Selection:

  • Common filling materials include dental amalgam (silver-colored), composite resin (tooth-colored), glass ionomer cement, and porcelain. Your dentist will discuss the options with you and help you choose the most suitable material.
Filling Placement:

  • The chosen filling material is placed in the prepared cavity. The dentist will shape and sculpt the filling to match the natural contours of your tooth.
Curing (for Some Materials):

  • If a composite resin is used, a special light may be used to harden and set the material.

  • Final Adjustments: The dentist will check your bite to ensure it's even and make any necessary adjustments to the filling's shape and size.
  • Polishing: The filling is polished to achieve a smooth, natural appearance.
  • Post-Procedure Instructions: Your dentist will provide guidance on aftercare, including any temporary restrictions on eating or drinking.
