Dental filling

 

Dental fillings are single or combinations of metals, plastics, glass or other materials used to repair or restore teeth. One of the most popular uses of fillings is to “fill” an area of tooth that your dentist has removed due to decay – “a cavity.” Fillings are also used to repair cracked or broken teeth and teeth that have been worn down from misuse (such as from nail-biting or tooth grinding).

Dental filling materials include:

  • Gold.
  • Porcelain.
  • Silver amalgam (contains mercury mixed with silver, tin, zinc, and copper).
  • Tooth-colored, plastic and glass materials called composite resin fillings.

Procedure Overview: Filling a Tooth with Precision and Care

When undergoing a tooth-filling procedure, you can expect a meticulous process to restore and protect your dental health. Here’s an overview of the steps involved:

1. Anesthesia Administration:
To ensure your comfort, your dentist will begin by numbing the area around the tooth with a local anesthetic. This step ensures a pain-free experience during the dental filling procedure.

2. Decay Removal:
Using advanced tools such as a drill, air abrasion instrument, or laser, the decayed area of the tooth is carefully removed. The choice of instrument is based on your dentist’s expertise, training, and the specific characteristics of the decay.

3. Decay Assessment:
Throughout the removal process, your dentist will assess the area to determine if all decay has been effectively eliminated. This meticulous approach ensures thorough treatment.

4. Cavity Preparation:
Once the decay is removed, the dentist readies the space for the filling by meticulously cleaning the cavity, removing bacteria, and clearing debris. In cases where the decay is close to the root, a protective liner made of materials like glass ionomer or composite resin may be applied to safeguard the nerve.

5. Filling Application:
The type of filling material chosen (composite, amalgam, porcelain, etc.) determines the subsequent steps. For tooth-colored fillings, the material is applied in layers. Each layer is cured and hardened using a special light, resulting in a durable and resilient restoration.

6. Shaping and Polishing:
Once the multilayering process is complete, your dentist skillfully shapes the composite material to achieve the desired form. Any excess material is trimmed, and the final restoration is polished to perfection.

Additional Steps for Tooth-Colored Fillings:
For tooth-colored fillings, the procedure includes several extra steps to ensure optimal results. After decay removal and cleaning, the tooth-colored material is applied in layers. Each layer is cured with a special light, and the final restoration is shaped, excess material is removed, and the restoration is polished.
