What is Teeth Filling?
Tooth fillings are also called dental fillings. It is a simple dental procedure where anomalies like tooth fractures and tooth decay (within permissible limit) are treated by giving the damaged area with dental filling materials. The filling materials are generally made of silver amalgam, gold or other tooth colored filling materials. The dentist would assess the damage and accordingly apply the suitable filling material.
Dental Filling Procedure
Our Dentist at Expert Dental Centre would prepare the tooth that needs fillings. First and foremost, the tooth is cleaned with a dental hand-piece or laser. After the cleaning process is accomplished in the tooth that needs filling, adhesives are placed. These adhesives assist in better bonding of the fillings to the teeth.
