Teeth Filling Process

The tooth-colored material we use is made from durable composite, porcelain or resin. In addition to white fillings, they can also be used for repair procedures as well such as crowns and veneers. The teeth bonding process is relatively simple.

1. Once the shade guide has been used to select the color for your composite resin, the doctor will begin with anesthesia to make you comfortable.
2. The doctor will begin removing the decay. Once the decay is gone, the surface of the tooth can be slightly etched to allow a conditioning liquid to coat the tooth and act as an adhesive for the bonding material.
3. The resin is applied to the tooth and is molded until it is in the proper shape. It is then hardened, and a final polishing occurs.
4. Your doctor will check your bite, floss, and make sure that the filling is completely sealed.

Maintaining Your Dental Fillings

Over time, food and drinks can stain the bonding or filling material. It is best to avoid tea, coffee, red wine and cigarette smoke during the first 48 hours after the procedure. They should be cared for like other teeth and cleaned by a dental hygienist every six months.
