What Are Dental Fillings?

Dental fillings are a restorative solution used to repair teeth damaged by cavities, decay, or minor fractures. The decayed portion of the tooth is removed, and a filling material is used to restore the tooth’s structure and prevent further damage.

Types of Fillings We Offer

1. Composite (Tooth-Colored) Fillings:
   Made from a blend of resin and glass particles, composite fillings are designed to match the color of your natural teeth. They’re ideal for front or visible teeth, providing a seamless, aesthetic restoration.

Signs You May Need a Filling

• Tooth Sensitivity: If you experience sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet foods, it could be a sign of a cavity.
• Visible Holes or Dark Spots: Cavities often present as visible holes or dark areas on your teeth.
• Toothache or Pain: Persistent tooth pain or discomfort when chewing may indicate tooth decay.
• Chipped or Worn Teeth: Fillings can also be used to repair minor chips or worn edges caused by grinding or injury.

The Dental Filling Process at East Sac Dental

1. Examination & Diagnosis: We’ll perform a thorough exam, including digital X-rays, to determine the extent of tooth decay or damage.
2. Preparation: The affected area is cleaned, and any decayed tissue is removed.
3. Filling Placement: The filling material is carefully applied, shaped, and hardened to restore your tooth’s structure and function.
4. Polishing: Once the filling is set, we’ll polish it to ensure a smooth, comfortable fit that blends naturally with your other teeth.
