Time to repair teeth and prevent dental issues!
A cavity is easy to ignore for some time, but it ultimately starts to damage the gums and teeth and causes severe pain. Remember that a cavity can never heal on its own. At Vera Dental Care, we understand how a cavity can turn your healthy teeth into dramatic issues and cause discomfort. That is where modern techniques like dental fillings play a role through a fast, comfortable, and worry-free process.
Dental fillings are one of the restorative treatments that help to repair teeth from damage, decay, cracks, and wear. First, the damaged tissue is removed and then sealed with dental cement to prevent further bacterial growth. This sealing is called a dental filling. This usually takes only 30 minutes, but it can vary from person to person and depending on the condition of their teeth.
First, the site is sealed using biocompatible material to bond the tooth. This works as a protective barrier, which helps to block bacteria from attacking the site and stop decay from spreading to the other teeth as well.
When do you need a dental filling?
1. Composite filling- it can also be said to be tooth-coloured, because the resin which is used to fill the site can easily match the shade of natural color.
2. Glass ionomer filling- it is made from silicate glass powder and organic acid, which easily bonds with the tooth directly and releases fluoride.
3. Amalgam filling- it is a silver-coloured filling which is a mixture of mercury and powdered alloy of silver and tin. They are less popular because of their visibility.
4. Ceramic (inlays and onlays) filling- these are custom-made indirect tooth restorations which help to repair mild to complex decay. They are a little expensive but offer durability and are stain-resistant.
We diagnose decayed portions between teeth and under the previously existing fillings through careful dental examination and X-ray.
