1. Dental Examination:
Our dentist begins with a thorough examination using X-rays (if needed) to assess the extent of tooth decay or damage.
2. Local Anesthesia:
To ensure a painless experience, the area around the affected tooth is numbed with local anesthesia.
3. Removing Decay:
The decayed or damaged part of the tooth is carefully removed using dental tools, leaving a clean, healthy surface.
4. Cleaning the Cavity:
The cavity is cleaned to remove bacteria and debris, preparing it for the filling.
5. Placing the Filling:
The filling material—composite resin, amalgam, or other suitable options—is applied in layers and shaped to match the natural tooth.
6. Curing the Filling:
If a tooth-colored composite is used, it is hardened using a special curing light.
7. Final Adjustments:
The filling is polished and adjusted for proper bite alignment, ensuring comfort and durability.
