Dental Fillings

Dental fillings are a common and essential treatment used to repair teeth that have been damaged by decay or injury. At Medina Dental Care, we provide high-quality fillings that restore the integrity and function of your teeth while maintaining a natural appearance.

What to Expect:

• Examination: The process begins with a thorough examination of the affected tooth to determine the extent of decay or damage. This may involve digital X-rays to assess the tooth structure and surrounding areas.
• Decay Removal: Any decayed or weakened tooth material is carefully removed to prepare for the filling.
• Choice of Filling Material: We offer a variety of filling materials to suit different needs and preferences, including:
  • Composite Resin: Tooth-colored fillings that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, ideal for visible areas.
  • Amalgam (Silver) Fillings: Known for their durability, these are often used for filling back teeth.
  • Gold Fillings: A durable and aesthetically pleasing option, though more costly.
  • Ceramic Fillings: Made from porcelain, these are both durable and visually appealing, resisting staining better than composite resin.
• Filling Placement: The chosen material is then placed into the cleaned and prepared cavity and shaped to match the contours of your tooth. It is hardened using a special light if necessary.
• Polishing and Adjustment: The filling is polished to ensure a smooth finish and adjusted to ensure a proper bite alignment.

Benefits of Dental Fillings:

• Restores Tooth Function: Fillings allow you to chew and bite normally, reducing pain and sensitivity.
• Prevents Further Decay: Properly sealed fillings prevent further decay by closing off spaces where bacteria can enter.
• Aesthetic Improvement: Tooth-colored fillings enhance the natural appearance of your smile.
