What Is a Teeth Filling?

A dental filling is a substance that is used to fill in a tooth that has been damaged or decayed by Best Dentist for Teeth Filling in Islamabad. The filling restores the shape and function of the tooth and replaces the missing tooth structure.

Tooth decay is a slow decay of the hard outer enamel and dentin caused by the action of bacteria and acids. If left untreated the decay can go further into the tooth. A filling is designed to take the place of the affected area and to seal the tooth to prevent any further bacterial attack. Depending on the location of the cavity, the extent of the breakdown, the desired esthetic outcome and the individual dental status we may recommend various choices of Cavity Treatment in Islamabad.

Before and After of Teeth Filling:

After treatment the treated tooth should be restored to its normal shape and function. Dents are taken out and the space is filled and sealed with the chosen filling. Patients may find that they are eating easier and have less sensitivity due to the decay that was filled. 

Teeth Filling in Islamabad can also fit flawlessly with the other teeth in the smile making the area look as though it is one natural smile. The durability of the restoration will depend upon the size and position of the restoration oral hygiene chewing cycles and routine care.

Types of Teeth Fillings Available in Islamabad:

The filling material used depends on the tooth size and location of the cavity, functional requirements, aesthetic preferences and overall oral health at Dental Aesthetic Studio.

Composite Tooth-Coloured Fillings:

The composite filling is created from a tooth-coloured resin compound. They are available in a range of colour options and can be closely matched to the natural colour of the tooth so they are an excellent choice for front teeth. We use composite filling in cases when appearance is a significant factor. Bonded to the tooth and formed to create a natural appearance.

Advantages include:

• Natural-looking appearance.
• Tooth-coloured finish.
• Can be used for the front teeth as well as most back teeth.
• Can bond directly to tooth structure.
• May be useful for small to moderate replacements.

Amalgam Fillings:

Amalgam is an old filling material which has been used for back teeth for its strength and durability. However it has a metallic appearance which makes it less aesthetically pleasing than tooth-coloured options. Always the best material will be chosen after careful tooth analysis and consultation with the dentist regarding options.

Glass Ionomer Fillings:

There are specific circumstances where the use of glass ionomer materials is advantageous such as in fluoride release or certain bonding properties. It will be used depending on the location and condition of the tooth.

Ceramic or Indirect Restorations:

If the damage has extended to a larger area of the tooth a traditional filling might not be strong enough to support the tooth’s structure. In such cases an indirect restoration (inlay or onlay) may be indicated.

Teeth Filling Procedure at Dental Aesthetic Studio:

The filling procedure for the teeth is generally simple. The first step is to look at the tooth that is affected and see how much decay there is.

Dental Examination:

Tooth and surrounding tissues are explored. X-rays can be used to help see decay when it’s hard to tell from the exam or to check the proximity of the decay to the pulp.

Local Anaesthesia:

Local anaesthetic is used if necessary to ensure the treatment is comfortable. It depends on the location and depth of the cavity.

Removal of Decay:

The part of the tooth that is damaged is carefully taken away. Our goal is to keep as much healthy tooth structure as possible and remove the compromised tooth structure.

Cleaning and Preparation:

The prepared cavity is cleaned and shaped allowing the restorative material to be placed and retained in the cavity.

Filling Placement:

The specified filling material is inserted into the area of preparation. With composite fillings the material is typically applied in layers and hardened using a special curing light.

Shaping and Polishing:

After making a filling we form it to fit the contours of the tooth. After the bite is restored the bite is checked to make sure that the restored tooth doesn’t interfere with normal chewing. The restoration is then polished to provide a smooth and comfortable surface.
