The Filling Process: What You Can Expect
Each dental filling procedure is designed to be efficient and as comfortable as possible. The process includes:
- Comprehensive examination to identify tooth decay
- Removal of the decayed portion using advanced dental tools
- Preparation of the area for filling, including cleaning and shaping
- Placement of the chosen filling material, shaped to match your bite
- Final polishing and aftercare instructions to ensure lasting results
- Whether you choose amalgam for its strength or composite for its aesthetic appeal, our team ensures the filling fits securely and supports your tooth’s structure.
Choosing Between Amalgam and Composite Fillings
Patients often ask about the differences between filling materials. Here are the key benefits of each:
Amalgam Fillings
- Ideal for molars and high-chewing areas
- Long-lasting and cost-effective
- Resistant to shrinking and leaking
Composite Fillings
- Matches natural tooth color for a discreet look
- Preserves more of the natural tooth during placement
- Bonds directly to the tooth for added strength
Our dentists and team are happy to discuss your options and help you make the best choice for your dental and lifestyle needs.
