At Prakash dental care, during the tooth filling procedure, our dental specialist will remove the decayed part of the tooth followed by placement of the filling material on the cleaned area of the tooth from where the decay was present initially. To know more about tooth fillings or if you feel that you require a tooth filling do book an appointment with us at Prakash Dental Care in HSR layout. 

Fillings–Multiple Benefits

With fillings, we repair broken or  worn out teeth. The condition of worn-out teeth can happen because of nail-biting as well as tooth grinding. 

Steps involved include-

Our dental specialist will make use of local anesthesia to numb the tooth, if required. The decayed area is then removed with the help of suitable dental instruments. 

Instrument of Choice

For composite filling treatment in HSR layout, the choice of the instrument is based on the comfort degree of our specialist apart from the degree of decay as well as the location of the decayed tooth. 

Decay near Root

If the decay is near the root, our dental specialist at Prakash Dental Care may initially put a liner of a suitable material followed by the final filling material to protect the nerve. Finishing and polishing is the done after the filling. 

Multilayering process

After our dental specialist removes the decay and cleans the area,  the tooth-coloured material is then placed in layers. After which, UV light is applied for hardening each layer. Finally, we trim off the excess material and then polish the final restoration. 

Filling materials

• Composite resins
• Glass ionomer cement
• Gold
• Porcelain
• Silver amalgam

Filling of choice

The choice of the filling is based on various factors like the degree or level of the decay, filling substance cost, and insurance coverage apart from the recommendation of the dental specialist. 

Silver fillings

Benefits

• Flexibility and durability
• Toughness
• Less cost compared to the gold filling

 With silver fillings, however, the disadvantage is that there are chances of cracks as well as fractures because there can be a greater degree of expansion as well as contraction in the silver material with time.
