What are Dental Fillings?

Fillings are a common treatment to repair tooth structure damaged by decay or trauma. The main purpose of a filling is to fill cavities and repair small damage, prevent further decay and keep the tooth healthy. When a tooth has a cavity the decay is removed by the dentist and the empty space is filled with a material that hardens and the tooth is restored to its shape and function.

Types of Fillings

At Blank Dental, we use a range of filling materials to suit different needs and preferences.

Composite Fillings: Made from plastic and glass, they blend with natural teeth colors and are ideal for visible areas requiring moderate durability.

Amalgam Fillings: Composed of metals including silver and mercury, these fillings are strong and cost-effective, best suited for back teeth.

Porcelain Fillings: Porcelain, used for inlays or onlays, matches tooth color and resists stains, combining aesthetic appeal with strength for visible teeth.

Gold Fillings: Known for exceptional durability and biocompatibility, gold is an expensive option that stands out visually.

Signs You Might Need a Filling

Knowing when you need a filling can prevent further problems and save your teeth. Common signs you might need a filling are tooth sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet, visible holes or pits in your teeth, pain when you bite down, and roughness when you touch the tooth with your tongue. Also, bad breath or an unpleasant taste in your mouth can be signs of decay that need a filling.

At Blank Dental, we perform a thorough patient-centered diagnosis. We use advanced imaging to determine the extent of decay or damage. Our dentists explain the findings and discuss whether a filling is the best option for you so you get personalized care for your teeth.

Getting a Dental Filling at Blank Dental

We make getting a filling a smooth, comfortable, and effective process. Here’s what to expect:

Exam: Your visit starts with examining the affected tooth and surrounding gums. This confirms the need for a filling and the extent of the decay or damage.

Prep: The area around the tooth will be numbed with a local anesthetic so you are comfortable and pain-free during the procedure. We also offer sedation for patients who are anxious or prefer a more relaxed experience.

Decay Removal: Once numb, the dentist will remove the decayed or damaged portion of the tooth with specialized dental tools. This step prevents further decay and prepares the tooth for the filling material.

Tooth Cleaning: After removing the decay, the tooth is cleaned to remove any bacteria or debris and create a clean environment for filling.

Filling: The chosen filling material is then applied in layers. Each layer is hardened with a special light that sets it quickly.

Shaping and Polishing: Once the filling is in place, it’s shaped and polished to restore your tooth to its natural shape and function. This step makes sure the filling fits with your bite and feels smooth on your tongue.

Final Check: Our dentist in Hilliard will do a final check to make sure the filling is in place and your bite is comfortable. Adjustments are made as needed so you can bite without discomfort.

Post-Procedure Care: Before you leave, we’ll give you instructions on how to care for your newly filled tooth, including how to clean it and what to eat and drink in the hours following the procedure.
