NOW ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS
Fillings are one of the most basic methods of restoring teeth, a composite resin material is used to fill a hole in the tooth that has been cause by decay, by using a filling it allows the dentist to save the tooth for many more years.
Fillings can be used to:
1
Appointments for fillings normally last between 30 minutes to one hour, the need for a filling is normally found during a check-up appointment.
2
The dentist will numb the tooth and the surrounding area with a local anaesthetic and will then drill the decayed material away from the tooth.
3
Once the decay has been removed from the tooth, this is when the dentist will then fill the tooth, the filling material is placed in the hole in layers, with a special light shone on each layer to harden the material and speed up the setting process.
4
The filling will then be shaped to look as realistic as possible and so it does not interfere with the way your teeth meet when you bite and chew.
