The Essence of Dental Fillings
Dental fillings are used to restore teeth damaged by decay back to their normal function and shape. When performing a filling, dentists first remove the decayed tooth material, clean the affected area, and then fill the cleaned-out cavity with a filling material. This process helps prevent further decay by closing off any cracks or spaces where bacteria can enter. With materials like composite resins that match the color of your natural teeth, dental fillings can also offer a pleasing aesthetic result.
Benefits of Opting for Dental Fillings
- Prevents further tooth decay by sealing off spaces where bacteria can enter
- Restores the functionality and strength of your teeth
- Improves oral health overall
- Composite fillings can be matched to your natural tooth color for a seamless look
Your Journey with Dental Fillings
The process begins with a thorough examination by one of our skilled dentists at Mission Dental Group to determine if a filling is necessary. If so, the area around the affected tooth will be numbed for comfort before removing the decay. Next, the cavity is filled with one of several materials—composite resin being among the most popular due to its durability and natural appearance.
