What is Dental Filling?

A dental filling or dental restoration or simply a filling is used as a restorative treatment procedure for integrity, function and morphology of minor fractures or decay in teeth. It can even out the surface of the tooth and improve jaw function by improving biting and chewing. Many patients with tooth decay also suffer from sensitivity of teeth due to loss of enamel, which can be improved significantly with the placement of a simple dental filling!

Dental filling process

The first step in filling a tooth is to drill hole into tooth to remove decayed part of tooth which can be done by air abrasion instruments or lasers.

Next, we will probe for any residual decay that may remain after their initial removal-this ensures all has been removed before proceeding further with the procedure.

Once this is confirmed, they will prepare the space for filling material like cement to be restored. Then we will finish off with polishing.
