A tooth filling is a common and essential dental procedure used to repair and restore teeth damaged by decay or minor fractures. This restorative treatment involves removing the decayed or damaged part of the tooth and filling the resulting cavity with a dental filling material.
The filling material can be made from various types, including amalgam (a mix of metals), composite resin (tooth-colored material), porcelain, or glass ionomer. The choice of filling material depends on factors such as the extent of the damage, location of the tooth, and the patient's preferences.
During the procedure, our dentist ensures that the affected area is thoroughly cleaned and prepared before placing the filling to seal the cavity and prevent further decay. Tooth fillings not only restore the tooth's strength and integrity but also blend seamlessly with the natural tooth color, offering a cosmetically appealing result.
With proper oral care and regular dental check-ups, tooth fillings can provide long-lasting protection, preserving the tooth's functionality and preventing more extensive dental issues. This simple yet crucial procedure remains a cornerstone of modern dentistry, ensuring the longevity of natural teeth and maintaining oral health for countless patients worldwide.
