Fillings

Dental fillings are metals, plastics, glass, or other materials that help to repair or restore teeth. Theyare used to fill in the place of the tooth that has been removed due to a cavity. These filings are used to repair cracked or broken teeth or teeth that have been worn down from misuse.

Steps involved in filling a tooth

  • First, dentists will numb the affected area with a local anesthetic.
  • Next, they will drill, air abrasion instrument or laser will be used to remove the decayed area.
  • Then they will test the area during the decay removal process to determine if all the decay has been removed.
  • Once the decay is removed, the dentist will prepare the area for the filling by cleaning the cavity of bacteria.
  • After the filling is in, the dentist will polish it.
  • After your dentist has removed the decay and cleaned the area, the tooth-colored material is applied in layers.
  • A light that “cures” or hardens each layer is applied. Then, your dentist will shape the composite material to the desired result, trim off any excess material and polish the final restoration.
