Dental Fillings
Dental fillings are placed to restore the function and aesthetics of teeth. They can be used to repair teeth that are broken down by dental decay or trauma, back to its original shape. They can also be used to improve the look of teeth to give a brighter, whiter smile!
Do I need a dental filling?
What you need to do
Our dentists at SIA Dental will perform a thorough general dental checkup at your initial visit to determine if dental fillings are required. Sometimes, a dental filling is required as assessed during an emergency dental visit. We will then discuss your specific procedure with you and advise the time, cost and risks involved with your treatment.
What does the dental filling procedure involve?
The process
- Local anaesthesia – Depending on the complexity of the dental filling procedure, local anaesthesia may be applied to ensure comfort throughout your procedure
- Tooth decay removal – Our dentists will then remove all debris and tooth decay, and prepare the tooth for dental filling placement
- Filling placement – The tooth surface is then treated with a safe chemical and the tooth-coloured filling matching the natural shade of your tooth is then placed with care.
- Polishing – Once placed, the dental filling is shaped and smoothed to mimic the original shape of your tooth. Special polishers are used to give the tooth a bright shine.
The team at SIA Dental look forward to working with you to achieve your ideal smile and dental health.
