Fillings

At Perfect Smile Doc, we believe in preserving the integrity of your smile through advanced and meticulous dental care. Our focus on perfection extends to our filling procedures, ensuring your teeth are both healthy and aesthetically pleasing.

What Happens During a Filling?

A filling is used to treat a small hole, or cavity, in a tooth. To repair a cavity, a dentist removes the decayed tooth tissue and then fills the space with a durable and biocompatible material, restoring the tooth’s structure and function. The filling is then shaped to match the natural contours of your tooth and polished for a smooth finish.

Local anesthesia is administered around the affected tooth before the treatment to ensure a pain-free experience.

Types of Fillings

Perfect Smile Doc offers various filling materials to suit your preferences and specific dental needs. Our experienced team will guide you in choosing the most suitable filling material based on your unique smile and oral health requirements.

• Composite Fillings: Made of tooth-colored resin, composite fillings blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, providing both durability and aesthetics.
• Amalgam Fillings: Comprising a mixture of metals, amalgam fillings are strong and often recommended for back teeth.
• Ceramic Fillings: Crafted from porcelain, ceramic fillings offer excellent durability and a natural appearance.

What Causes the Need for a Filling?

The need for fillings arises from various factors. Regular dental check-ups help identify these issues early, allowing prompt and effective filling treatments. These common issues often require a filling to treat:

• Tooth Decay: Cavities formed due to bacterial activity on the tooth surface.
• Fractures or Chips: Physical damage that compromises the tooth structure.
• Worn-out Fillings: Replacing old or deteriorating fillings to maintain oral health.
