Dental Fillings: Restoring Your Teeth with Precision and Care
At Park Dental Care, we understand the importance of maintaining the integrity and health of your natural teeth. Our dental fillings service is designed to restore teeth damaged by decay or trauma, preventing further damage and restoring function. We use the latest materials and techniques to ensure your fillings are both durable and aesthetically pleasing.
Understanding Dental Fillings
Dental fillings are used to repair cavities and restore the normal function and shape of your teeth. When tooth decay is removed from a tooth, it leaves behind a space that needs to be filled to prevent further decay and to strengthen the tooth.
Types of Fillings We Offer
Composite Resin Fillings
Aesthetic: Match the color of your natural teeth, providing a seamless look.
Durable: Strong enough for use in small to midsize restorations that need to withstand moderate pressure from the constant stress of chewing.
Versatile: Can be used not only for cavities but for repairing chipped, broken, or worn teeth.
Enhance Your Smile with Cosmetic Bonding
Cosmetic bonding is an effective and versatile solution for improving the appearance of your teeth. By applying a tooth-colored resin, we can correct imperfections such as chips, cracks, and gaps, providing a seamless and natural-looking result. This quick, non-invasive treatment can dramatically enhance your smile, making it a popular choice for achieving a more confident and aesthetically pleasing appearance
The Filling Process
1. Examination: We start with a thorough examination of the affected tooth and surrounding areas to assess the extent of decay or damage.
2. Preparation: The decayed or damaged part of the tooth is carefully removed, and the area is cleaned.
3. Filling Placement: The filling material is then applied in layers to build up the tooth's structure. Each layer is cured or hardened using a special light
4. Finishing Touches: After the filling is in place, it is shaped to match the bite and polished to prevent wear and staining.
Aftercare for Your Fillings
Chewing: Avoid chewing directly on the newly filled tooth until the anesthesia wears off.
Sensitivity: It's normal to experience some sensitivity to heat and cold initially. This will diminish over time.
Oral Hygiene: Maintain good oral hygiene by brushing twice a day and flossing daily. Regular check-ups are essential to monitor the condition of the filling and surrounding teeth.
