What is a Dental Filling?
Dental filling is used to fill up a part of your tooth that has decayed. In addition to preventing decay and severe tooth damage, a dental filling is done to prevent discomfort or pain in the future.
Our affiliated clinic offers dental fillings using composite resin, amalgam and ceramic.
Amalgam Vs Composite Resin Fillings
Whilst Amalgam fillings are less expensive and more hardy, they may require the removal of healthy part of your tooth. Composite Resin Fillings are not as hardy as amalgam, but are long-lasting as long as you maintain proper oral hygiene.
In addition, composite resin fillings can be used to repair all kinds of tooth damage using less drilling. Lastly, Composite Resin Fillings match the color of natural tooth.
Class I and Class V
<Class I>
Class I corresponds to cavities on surfaces of a posterior tooth you can clinically see—occlusal / lingual / buccal surfaces.
<Class V>
Class V is referred to cavity on the cervical third of the facial or lingual surfaces of any tooth
Class II and Class IV
<Class II>
Class II corresponds to surfaces of a posterior tooth you cannot see clinically - premolars / molars
<Class IV>
Class IV is referred to cavities on proximal surfaces of incisors or canines that involve the incisal angle
Dental Filling Procedure
1. Your teeth will be cleaned and any tooth decay will be removed. If needed, some space will be made for the dental filling procedure.
2. The dental filling procedure begins. A tooth-colored material will typically be used as a dental filling. It will be applied onto the area where the tooth decay used to be. This step will be done in layers.
3. A special light will be used to harden the layer.
4. If necessary, excess material will be trimmed off and the filling will be shaped.
5. You may opt to have scaling and polishing done at the end.
