A dental filling is a common and effective way to restore a tooth that has been damaged by decay or minor fractures. When decay affects a tooth, it creates a cavity that can compromise both the structure and function of the tooth. Dental fillings are designed to repair this damage, returning your tooth to its natural form and function while preserving your overall oral health.
The process of getting a dental filling is straightforward and typically requires only one appointment at Sweet Spot Smiles to complete. The filling procedure begins with our dentist carefully removing the decayed portion of the tooth. Once the affected area is thoroughly cleaned and free from decay, the space is filled with a durable material. This material is then shaped to match the natural contours of your tooth, ensuring a comfortable fit and a natural appearance. Finally, the filling is hardened, providing a long-lasting restoration that blends seamlessly with your surrounding teeth.
We offer different types of dental fillings to meet your needs, including composite fillings, which are popular for their ability to match the color of your natural teeth, and amalgam fillings, known for their strength and durability.
If you are experiencing tooth decay or minor damage, a filling might be the perfect solution to restore your smile and protect your oral health.
