What Are Dental Fillings?

Dental fillings are used to restore teeth affected by minor to moderate cavities. They also help repair teeth that have been worn down due to habits like tooth grinding, and can restore parts of a tooth that are chipped or broken.

Materials We Use

At Desert Springs Dental Care, we offer a range of materials for fillings to meet different needs and preferences. The main options include:

  • Composite Resin: A tooth-colored material that provides a natural, seamless look.
  • Amalgam: A silver-colored filling known for its durability, typically used for back teeth.
  • Ceramic: Tooth-colored, durable, and resistant to stains, making it an excellent option for a long-lasting solution.

Our Procedure

Getting a filling at Desert Springs Dental Care involves a few simple steps to ensure comfort and optimal results. Here's what you can expect:

  • Numbing: Your dentist will numb the area around the affected tooth to ensure you’re comfortable during the procedure.
  • Decay Removal: The decayed portion of the tooth will be carefully removed.
  • Cleaning: After the decay is removed, the cavity will be thoroughly cleaned to eliminate bacteria and debris.
  • Filling: The cleaned cavity is then filled with the chosen material. The filling is shaped and polished to match the natural contours of your tooth.

Do You Need a Filling?

If you’re experiencing symptoms like tooth sensitivity, visible dark spots or holes in your teeth, or if food frequently gets stuck between certain teeth, you might need a filling. Our skilled team at Desert Springs Dental Care will conduct a comprehensive examination to determine the most suitable treatment plan for your needs.
