What Are Dental Fillings?
Dental fillings are a restorative treatment used to repair teeth damaged by cavities or minor fractures. They work by removing the decayed or compromised portion of the tooth, cleaning the area, and then filling the void with a durable material. This process restores the tooth’s structure, prevents further decay, and helps you maintain normal biting and chewing function.
Your Filling Procedure
Initial Assessment
Your appointment begins with an examination by Dr. Farbod Fazel to confirm the extent of the cavity. We may take X-rays to assess the damage beneath the tooth surface. We discuss the best filling material options suitable for your needs and preferences.
Numbing and Preparation
Before beginning the procedure, we will gently numb the affected area to ensure your comfort. Dr. Fazel will then carefully remove the decayed or damaged tooth material. The tooth is thoroughly cleaned and prepared for the filling material.
Placing Your Filling
Once prepared, the chosen filling material is carefully placed into the cavity. For composite fillings, a special light is used to harden the material. The filling is meticulously shaped and polished to match your natural tooth contour and bite.
Post-Procedure Care
After the filling is complete, Dr. Fazel will provide instructions on how to care for your newly restored tooth. You may experience some temporary sensitivity, which typically subsides within a few days. Regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups are essential for maintaining your filling.
