Getting a filling is a simple, painless, and minimally invasive procedure that can save you a lot of time and money in the long run by preventing the spread of tooth decay. When tooth decay is left untreated, it can cause an infection and even lead to tooth loss. This will require much more invasive, costly, and lengthy treatment than just getting a simple filling.
Modern fillings are also tooth-colored so you no longer have to worry about silver fillings disrupting your smile.
Fillings not only treat tooth decay and repair damaged teeth, but they also restore your tooth’s strength and functionality so that you can chew without worrying about breakage.
Dr. Rene will examine your child’s tooth and take digital scans to look for the presence of decay in the tooth. X-rays will reveal if decay is isolated enough to be treated with a filling or if it has spread to the pulp and will require a root canal.
Getting a filling is painless because we numb your child’s mouth with local anesthesia. If your child would prefer to be sedated during their procedure because they get nervous at the dentist, we offer laughing gas, oral conscious sedation, and general anesthesia.
With your child’s mouth fully numb, we will use a dental drill to remove the decayed portion of the tooth. This will remove bacteria and prevent the cavity from growing.
Etching the tooth helps the bonding agent stick. The tooth will be roughened and an acidic gel will be applied.
Composite resin is applied and molded to the tooth.
By exposing the filling to UV light, it will harden. Then, any additional trimming and shaping can be performed to make sure that the tooth is even with the other teeth and is not causing any disruptions to your child’s bite.
