Induction
Dental fillings are considered to be the most effective types of treatments for restoring strength and function to an affected tooth. Fillings applied at Gentle Care Family Dental are those that protect your natural teeth while at the same time enhancing your beautiful and healthy smile.
Types and Benefits
Modern-day fillings are made from a variety of materials, i.e., tooth-colored composites, ceramics, and even gold. Composite fillings will naturally blend in with the tooth substance, giving the tooth some name in aesthetics; ceramics will give strength or durability. Each of these will depend on your needs of dental care with regard to function and aesthetics.
The Gentle Care Approach
Your comfort comes first. The tooth is numbed, so the treatment is almost painless. The decay is removed and the area cleaned; the filling is placed in sterile conditions to restore the shape and function.
When Fillings Are Needed
Fillings are usually recommended to save an affected tooth which has been subject to cavity detection on a routine examination. Even minor decays can act destructively to a tooth if not treated, and finally end up needing root canals or crowns. Fillings hence save time, money, and especially tooth structure.
Frequently Asked Questions
