Understanding Fillings and Restorations
Fillings and restorations are dental treatments to first fix your damaged tooth by filling the cavity or decayed area. After filling people go for crowns or dental bridges to improve their oral function.
Bright Side Of Fillings and Restorations
Filling and restoration treatment reduces the spread of decay. This dental procedure helps fix fractured, cracked, or chipped teeth by using high-quality materials and durable restoration options.
For fillings and tooth restorations, you will not experience pain and discomfort as modern techniques require less drilling and preserve natural teeth. After this procedure, you will be able to confidently smile, speak, and eat your favorite foods with ease.
Step By Step Process for Fillings and Restorations
Assessment
Our dentist will take you for an initial assessment and X-rays to perform filling and
restorations.
Numbing
Local anaesthesia is applied to numb the area around the affected tooth.
Removing Cavities
The dentist ensures decay and cavities are removed thoroughly so filling material can stick properly.
Perform Fillings
Normally, composite resin or amalgam is used for the filling procedure which is set into place by the dentist.
Restore the Repaired Tooth
The next step is to restore the tooth. Either through onlays, bridges or crowns, dentists perform a restoration process.
Adjusting Tooth
Whether you get a crown or a bridge our dentists make sure to test the jaw alignment and chewing.
Aftercare
After the process is complete, dentists recommend an aftercare regimen and schedule visitation to check whether teeth are performing correctly after a couple of weeks.

Suitable Candidate For Filling And Restorations
You could be a good candidate for filling and restoration if you have cavities, tooth decay, or minor to moderate problems with your teeth. Fillings and restorations are also good for people who need to retain their natural teeth and the functionality of those teeth. Candidates are also expected to have healthy surrounding gums and proper oral hygiene to avoid further decay.
Frequently Asked Question
It depends on your dental care but fillings can last longer than a couple of years without needing dental intervention. However, it is wise to restore your teeth with veneers, crowns, or onlays after getting your filling. You can ask your dentist for expert recommendations.
Local anaesthesia or sedation is used so patients do not feel any discomfort or pain during the process, and the dentist can perform without any interruptions. However, after the procedure, you might need to take a painkiller as recommended by the doctor.
After your filling is completed, your dentist will usually recommend maintaining good oral hygiene through frequent brushing and scheduling regular visits to check for any damage.
Your dentist will only take one visit to place your crown, veneers, or onlays. Once the tooth impression is taken after the filling process, the lab technician will design a custom-made restoration. During your next visit, your crown or veneer will be fitted properly.
If you have missing or damaged teeth by cavities or infections, your dentist will recommend crowns, veneers or bridges to cover that gap. You will need to get an initial assessment to understand what type of restorations will work best for you.
Dentists use top-notch materials for veneers or crowns and other materials for restoration. They are made to be durable and reliable. If you take part in good oral practices, your restorations will last for a long time.
