At Smooth Dental Group, Dr. Elizabeth Tran will first give you a thorough oral examination. If you have a cavity caused by tooth decay, she will explain to you the procedure for the filling and recommend the best type of filling for you. The type of filling will depend on your individual needs.
These are very widely used fillings and are made up of a mixture of different metals.
These fillings are made of synthetic resins and are the same color as teeth. Composite fillings look just like part of the tooth but are not as durable as gold or silver amalgam.
Porcelain is strong and durable and can also be matched to the color of the tooth.
Made up of real gold, these fillings are strong and durable.
The procedure for filling a cavity is carried out under local anesthesia so that the patient doesn’t feel any pain. The tooth is first completely cleaned to remove all the bacteria and the filling is then placed into the cavity. The filling material hardens, making the tooth whole again.
For a cracked or broken tooth, the dentist will custom-make the filling to repair the tooth as required. Post-filling care instructions will be given to you by the dentist, which you will need to follow to ensure the best results from your dental treatment.
Our philosophy of dentistry is to treat every patient in the manner that I would expect to be treated; with candor, respect, professionalism, and compassion.
