Tooth Fillings
For Quality Dental Fillings, Visit Good Choice Dental
When it comes to dental fillings, patients can trust the team at Good Choice Dental for high-quality treatment.
A dental filling is usually your first line of defence in stopping tooth decay from progressing and spreading to other teeth. A filling can also help you avoid the need for more drastic treatments, such as tooth extraction.
A dental filling can reinforce a decayed tooth and keep it whole so that you can continue using it for years to come.
Our Services
Some Signs You Might Need a Dental Filling
• Your tooth is sensitive to hot and cold temperatures
• Your tooth aches when you chew on sweet foods
• You can feel or see a small hole in your tooth
• You have a dark brown spot on your tooth
• You always get food or dental floss caught on a particular tooth
The Steps of Getting a Dental Filling
Get your tooth examined
The very first thing you need to do is find out whether a filling is necessary. Our dentist will examine your tooth and even take some x-rays to see exactly what your dental needs are and whether a filling is the right treatment.
Schedule the filling appointment
You may have to schedule one or two separate appointments for tooth fillings. Each appointment should take about an hour. If you only need one small filling, then your treatment may take only a half hour.
Wait until your tooth is numb
At your tooth filling appointment, your dentist will administer an injection that makes your tooth numb. This will help you stay comfortable during treatment. There won’t be any drilling until your tooth and the surrounding site is totally numb.
Your dentist cleans away the cavity
Your dentist will start by drilling away the rotted tooth material. This leaves a clean and well-defined hole in your tooth.
Your dentist places the filling
After cleaning out the cavity to place a tooth filling, dentists at Good Choice Dental take care to carefully shape the filling material so that it creates a tight seal with the tooth.
Take good care of your dental filling
Once the numbness from the anaesthesia wears off, you can eat and drink as usual. Take care to clean your filled tooth carefully every day to prevent new decay from starting up. If you have a problem with your filling, call a Burwood dentist at Good Choice Dental.
