Do you suffer from frequent cavities, worn down or damaged teeth from teeth grinding or other dental problems? Some patients may look at their teeth and wonder if and how their smile can ever return to ‘normal’ and feel great at the same time. An incredibly common procedure, tooth-coloured fillings remedy the effects of several dental conditions.
Your Appointment for Fillings at Edward St Dental
To best serve our patients suffering from cracks, cavities, wear and tear, and other common issues, a tooth filling procedure generally involves the following:
- Initial assessment of the patient’s teeth to ensure a dental filling is appropriate.
- Application of numbing gel and potentially a local anaesthetic to the affected tooth and the surrounding area
- Isolation, removal of damaged parts of the tooth and thorough cleaning
- Placement of adhesive and composite materials that bond to a tooth to protect previously damaged areas
- Our dentist uses a UV light that bonds and seals the fillings to safeguard areas once exposed
To finish, we may touch up, polish and trim any rough edges left over from the procedure
