DESCRIPTION

Composite resin is a commonly used material in tooth filling treatments, particularly for restoring teeth with decay or cavities. This material consists of a blend of plastic resin and powdered glass filler. One of its key advantages is its ability to match the natural color of teeth, making it a preferred choice for tooth filling compared to traditional amalgam.

Tooth filling is a routine procedure in dentistry, often replacing old amalgam fillings. Composite resin is highly versatile and can be used to restore teeth with cracks or extensive decay. Before applying the tooth filling, proper cleaning and tooth preparation are essential to remove decayed tooth structure, ensuring optimal bonding between the tooth and the resin. Decayed tooth material also harbors bacteria, which can lead to post-treatment pain or sensitivity if not completely removed.

In cases of deep cavities or extensive decay, a local anesthetic may be administered to ensure a pain-free experience during the tooth filling procedure.

TREATMENT TIME FRAME

A tooth filling procedure typically requires a single appointment, with a chair side duration of approximately 60 to 90 minutes.

RISK AND COMPLICATION

• Sensitivity and pain after a tooth filling are common; however, if the discomfort worsens or becomes unbearable, please contact our dentist immediately. In some cases, a root canal treatment may be necessary to resolve the pain.
• You may also notice a change in your bite after a tooth filling treatment. A follow-up appointment with our dentist can help assess and adjust the filling, ensuring proper bite alignment and comfort.
• Additionally, composite fillings may chip, break, or become loose, especially if the cavity is too large or if there is minimal retention area on the tooth. Regular check-ups and proper care can help maintain the longevity of your tooth filling.
