What Are Dental Fillings?

Why Are Fillings Necessary?
Fillings are essential when cavities form due to plaque and bacteria eroding tooth enamel. Left untreated, cavities can deepen, leading to pain, infection, or even tooth loss.
They’re also used to repair minor chips or cracks, preserving the tooth and preventing the need for more extensive treatments like crowns or extractions.
The Filling Process at Denta Care
Our process begins with a thorough examination, often using digital X-rays to assess the extent of decay. After numbing the area with local anesthesia, we remove the decayed portion and fill the cavity with composite material.
The composite is shaped and polished to match your tooth, providing a natural look and feel. The entire procedure is typically completed in a single visit.
Benefits of Composite Fillings
Unlike traditional amalgam fillings, our composite fillings are mercury-free and designed to mimic the color of your teeth, making them virtually unnoticeable.
They bond directly to the tooth, offering added support and durability while requiring less removal of healthy tooth structure.
