Dental Fillings in Moose Jaw
Dental fillings are used to treat cavities and restore the tooth’s shape and function. Made from materials like composite resin or amalgam, fillings prevent further decay and provide a seamless, long-lasting solution for damaged teeth.
Why Use Fillings
Fillings are ideal for restoring teeth affected by decay, cracks, or damage. They close these types of cavities caused by enamel wear, preventing further bacterial damage and preserving the tooth’s structure. Not only does this restore the natural tooth, but it often saves it from needing extraction.
What to Expect During the Procedure
During the filling procedure, a local anesthetic will numb the area to ensure comfort. The decayed portion of the tooth will be removed, cleaned, and filled with the appropriate material, which will then be hardened using a bonding light. Your dentist will help you select the best filling material based on your needs and preferences.
