Fillings
When do I need a dental filling?
For a small-to-medium cavity the dentist may recommend a dental filling. This procedure is a wonderful way to preserve your living tooth structure while removing decay. The purpose is to remove the decayed area, clean it, and fill the space with composite which is a tooth-colored filling material made of resin reinforced with silica or porcelain particles thus returning the tooth to its normal shape and function. You can expect a dental filling procedure to include these four common steps.
- Topical freezing to numb the area
- Decay removal from the affected teeth
- Tooth restoration using a single or combination of materials for the filling
- Bite check
