Cavity Fillings
Fill those holes!
Dental cavities are generally caused by microorganisms that are present in our teeth. These cavities affect our tooth by causing damage to a very severe extent. Removing areas of tooth decay halts the decay process, so if a cavity goes untreated for too long, it can expand deeper into your tooth & even ultimately destroy the tooth. Fillings are an easy way to help save your tooth!
We at Moonstone Dental Care identify and address these dental cavities at a prior stage where the affected teeth can be cured with a very minimal procedure. Basic dental fillings from Moonstone would effectively help in preventing the tooth from cavity related damages and side effects.
We give utmost importance to patient's health but also since we want the best for our patients, our endodontic specialists at Moonstone find the exact colour matching for your tooth so that the restoration appears natural and attractive. There are different types of fillings, including amalgam, gold, composite, and glass ionomer. We use quality materials that are long lasting. Our dentists would help you find the best, strong, durable, aesthetically pleasing, apt for you, material of choice as your cavity filling material.
Nobody would want a restoration that chips off the next day after the procedure or a tooth restoration that looks odd in your mouth. Only expert hands like our dentists' in Moonstone can help you with that and restore the hearty smile back in you.
Fillings are generally a simple procedure:
-
To start, your dentist will examine your mouth and use dental instruments to check the cavity. They may take an X-ray of the tooth or teeth to see the extent of tooth decay.
-
At some instances, they may give you a local anaesthetic to numb the tooth area. This will help prevent any pain. You may not need an anaesthetic if the filling is just on the tooth surface.
-
Once the area is numb, your dentist will most likely use a dental drill to drill through the tooth enamel to remove the decay.
-
Next, your dentist will sterilize and prepare the area for the filling, then fill the hole. Some types of fillings are hardened, or cured, with a blue wavelength light.
-
Finally, your dentist will polish the tooth and check to make sure that your bite is correct.
Our dentists here use the safest materials and procedure methods for the benefit of our patients. They will finish most fillings in one visit and are efficient enough to finish procedures with as minimal time as possible.
