We’re dedicated to offering seamless dental filling treatments you can trust and rely on. We use only the latest techniques and materials, such as tooth-colored fillings, to ensure that your dental restoration looks natural and lasts for many years. Whether you need a simple or complex filling procedure, our caring staff will ensure you are comfortable throughout your entire treatment.
The primary use of dental fillings is to restore tooth decay and cavities. Decay is caused by plaque and tartar buildup on teeth. When bacteria in these deposits interact with sugars or starches from food, they produce acids that can erode enamel, forming cavities. An untreated cavity will gradually become larger and deeper, leading to tooth pain, infection, and potentially tooth loss.
That’s why we recommend that our patients come in for regular check-ups and cleanings to have their teeth examined. Early detection of cavities is key to preventing further damage and can save you time, money, and pain down the road.
At Aura Dental, we provide dental fillings to restore strength and health to damaged teeth. The process involves the removal of decayed material from inside a cavity or cracks in the tooth and then filling the empty space with a special material. Fillings are used to seal off cavities that can cause painful infections, as well as reinforce weak tooth structure. A simple and quick procedure, dental fillings can be applied in less than an hour for a lasting protective bond. We use modern, tooth-colored materials for our fillings instead of traditional metal amalgam. These materials are not only more aesthetically pleasing, but they also bond better to the tooth structure and provide a stronger seal than metal amalgam. Plus, the composite resin used in dental fillings is an excellent way to restore teeth damaged by decay or weakened by grinding and clenching.
Tooth fillings are meant to last for years of healthy smiles. To ensure the longevity of your dental filling, we’re happy to provide some useful tips. For starters, you should brush your teeth twice daily and floss at least once to remove any debris that may have become lodged in the space around your filling. Additionally, be mindful of what you eat. We recommend avoiding hard and sticky foods like taffy and caramel as they can cause damage to your fillings. Lastly, we recommend coming in for a checkup every six months so we can assess the condition of your fillings and make any necessary adjustments.
We strive to make the dental filling process as seamless and comfortable for our patients as possible. Our skilled team uses high-quality materials to ensure your cavities are filled effectively and with minimal discomfort.
