Dental Filling
A dental filling is one of the most common and essential procedures in modern dentistry. It is used to restore teeth damaged by decay, cracks, or wear, helping to bring back their normal function and appearance. At Dr J’s Dental Clinic, we ensure a pain-free and long-lasting solution to cavities with advanced dental filling techniques.
What is a Dental Filling?
A dental filling involves removing decayed tooth material, cleaning the affected area, and filling the cleaned-out cavity with a specialized material. This prevents further decay and restores the tooth’s strength and shape.
Types of Dental Fillings
At Dr J’s Dental Clinic, we offer a range of filling materials, including:
- Composite Resin (Tooth-Colored Fillings): Aesthetic and blends with natural teeth.
- Amalgam (Silver Fillings): Strong and durable, ideal for back teeth.
- Glass Ionomer & Ceramic Fillings: Best for specific conditions and long-term performance.
When Do You Need a Dental Filling?
- You have visible cavities or tooth decay
- You experience tooth sensitivity or pain while eating or drinking
