Dental Fillings
We offer a variety of general and restorative dentistry services, including dental fillings. Dental fillings are often used to restore teeth that have been damaged by cavities. Cavities occur when tooth enamel is broken down by acids that are produced when plaque builds up on the teeth. Fillings can also be used to repair cracked or broken teeth and to fill in spaces between teeth.
Tooth fillings are a common dental procedure that millions undergo every year. Still, many others put off visits to the dentist due to cost concerns. Our top priority is to provide high-quality, affordable dental care that is accessible to all. For your convenience, SP Smile offers a membership plan and flexible payment options.
Benefits of Dental Fillings
In addition to preventing further decay, dental fillings restore tooth function and appearance. The most common type of dental filling is composite resin, which is made from a mixture of glass or quartz filler and plastic resin. Other types of dental fillings include gold, porcelain, and silver amalgam.
Benefits of Composite Resin Fillings
- Composite resin fillings are bonded to the teeth, which makes them stronger and more durable than other types of fillings.
- Compared to other types of fillings, composite fillings are less likely to chip or break.
- Fillings made from composite resin are less likely to stain.
- Composite fillings are usually tooth-colored and can be matched to the color of your natural teeth. This makes composite resin fillings less noticeable than other types of dental fillings.
What to Expect During a Dental Filling Procedure
The dental filling procedure generally takes place in two appointments. During the first appointment, the dentist will remove the decay from your tooth and clean the tooth before adding the dental filling. During the second appointment, the dentist will place the dental filling in your tooth. The type of dental filling you choose will determine how long the procedure will take.
Expect to feel some pressure during the dental filling procedure, but you should not feel any pain. The dental filling will help to restore your tooth to its original shape and function so you can eat and speak normally. It will also prevent future damage to your teeth by keeping bacteria and acidic substances ou
