Dental fillings are a common and effective solution to repair teeth that have been damaged by cavities, decay, or injury. The primary purpose of dental fillings is to restore the function and integrity of a tooth, ensuring it can continue to serve its role in chewing and speaking.

At WA Dental & Cosmetology Clinic, we use high-quality materials for dental fillings to ensure durability, comfort, and a natural appearance. Whether you’re dealing with a minor cavity or more extensive damage, fillings can provide a lasting solution that helps prevent further decay and preserve the natural structure of your teeth.

Types of Dental Fillings:

  • Amalgam Fillings: Traditional silver-colored fillings made from a mixture of metals. They are durable and ideal for back teeth.

  • Composite Fillings: Tooth-colored fillings that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. These are more aesthetically pleasing and ideal for visible areas.

  • Ceramic Fillings: Made from porcelain, ceramic fillings are strong, durable, and offer a natural tooth-like appearance.

  • Gold Fillings: Known for their strength and longevity, gold fillings are durable but can be more noticeable due to their color.

The Filling Procedure: The dental filling process is straightforward and typically involves:

  1. Examination: The dentist will examine the tooth to determine the extent of damage or decay.

  2. Preparation: The affected area is cleaned, and the decayed portion is removed.

  3. Filling Placement: The chosen filling material is applied, shaped to fit the cavity, and hardened.

  4. Finishing Touches: The dentist will check the fit and bite, making adjustments as necessary for optimal comfort.

Benefits of Dental Fillings:

  • Prevent further decay and tooth damage.

  • Restore the natural shape, function, and appearance of the tooth.

  • Enhance overall oral health and prevent future dental problems.
