If your teeth have minor damage from cavities or cracking, a dental filling might be the ideal solution. Fillings are commonly used to repair minor to moderate tooth damage, restoring the tooth’s structure and function so you can enjoy a healthy, beautiful smile once again. Dental fillings can be made from silver amalgam or a tooth-colored composite material. Composite fillings are particularly popular because they blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, providing a more aesthetically pleasing result.
Dental Filling Process
At Rim Point Dental, Dr. Benson Bagley can complete your dental filling in just one appointment. The process begins with the careful removal of the decayed or damaged portion of the tooth, followed by a thorough cleaning to eliminate any remaining traces of decay. Once the tooth is prepared, Dr. Bagley will apply the filling material and shape it to match the natural contours of your tooth. The filling is then hardened and polished to ensure a smooth finish and a comfortable bite. To ensure your comfort throughout the procedure, a local anesthetic will be provided to numb the treatment area.
