All That Goes into Tooth Cavity Filling

Our dental filling procedure is a straightforward process designed to support your oral wellness goals. Here’s what you can expect during your dental filling session:

1

Examination and Diagnosis

We begin the process with a detailed dental exam. Our dentist will visually inspect your teeth and may use X-rays to identify the severity of decay or damage. It helps us diagnose the root cause and determine if this dental procedure is the right choice for you.

2

Numbing the Area

A local anesthetic may be applied to the affected area to make the process pain-free. Numbing takes a couple of minutes, but it helps the patient stay calm throughout the procedure, especially during decay removal.

3

Removing the Decay

Our dental care experts use special tools to remove the decayed portion of your tooth. This stage is necessary to wipe the debris and the bacteria inside it. As a result, the rest of your tooth structure remains unaffected in the future.

4

Disinfecting the Cavity

After removing the decay, we disinfect the tooth and the surrounding areas to make sure no damaged tissue or bacteria remains. It also helps us create a sterile environment for placing the dental filling safely.

5

Placing the Filling

The dental filling that meets your dental needs is applied to the affected tooth in layers. The dentist cures the filling with a special light that hardens it before moving to the next layer. It results in a sturdy bond between the solution and your natural teeth.

6

Shaping and Polishing

Once the dental filling is fully set, we shape it to match your natural smile. We check the filling for security and comfort. Finally, the surface is polished to blend the procedure smoothly and improve oral aesthetics. From diagnosis to polishing, you can rely on our procedure for expert-level dental care. At every stage, we will address your concerns and answer your questions promptly.
