What are dental fillings?

fillings for South Miami, FL Patients

Dental fillings are a common treatment used to repair teeth that have been damaged by cavities or minor fractures. This procedure involves removing decayed tooth material and filling the cavity with a biocompatible material, such as composite resin or amalgam. Dental fillings not only restore the tooth's function and structure but also prevent further decay and damage. With dental fillings, patients can maintain a healthy smile, improve oral function, and prevent the spread of decay to other teeth.

Step 1
Initial Examination

Our dentist conducts an examination to assess the condition of your teeth and overall oral health.

Step 2
preparation

Our dentist carefully removes the decayed portion, cleans and shapes the tooth to prepare for the filling material.

Step 3
Filling Placement and Polishing

The  filling material is applied and shaped to match your natural tooth structure, providing a smooth, comfortable finish.

the all-on-4 process

The all-on-4 process begins with a comprehensive consultation to assess your oral health. We then outline a treatment plan that utilizes digital imaging to guide the placement of four implants. During the procedure, implants are inserted, and temporary teeth are attached for immediate use. After healing, permanent custom-made teeth are affixed, ensuring a secure, natural-looking, and lasting smile restoration.

the Benefits of dental fillings

Dental fillings offer numerous benefits for maintaining oral health and restoring tooth functionality. They effectively repair cavities and prevent further decay, preserving the natural tooth structure. Fillings also protect against the spread of infection to other teeth, ensuring a healthier mouth overall. Additionally, modern filling materials, like composite resin, blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, enhancing both the appearance and strength of your smile.

Common questions

  • How long do dental fillings last?

    The longevity of a dental filling depends on the type of material used, oral hygiene habits, and regular dental care. Composite fillings can last about 5-7 years, while metal or porcelain fillings may last up to 15 years or more with proper care.

  • Can I eat immediately after getting a filling?

    It’s generally recommended to wait until any numbness from anesthesia has worn off before eating to avoid accidentally biting your cheeks or tongue. Some fillings, like composite resin, harden immediately, allowing you to eat soon after, while others may require a few hours.

  • What types of materials are used for dental fillings?

    Fillings can be made from materials like composite resin, amalgam (silver), porcelain, or gold. Your dentist will recommend the best material based on the location of the filling, durability needs, and aesthetic considerations.

  • Will my dental filling be visible?

    Tooth-colored fillings made from composite resin or porcelain are designed to blend in with your natural tooth color, making them nearly invisible. For areas less visible, metal fillings may be used due to their durability and strength.
