Dental Fıllıng
A filling is a treatment method used to repair the missing part of a decayed or damaged tooth. By closing the gap in the tooth, the filling restores the tooth's function and aesthetic appearance.
What is Filling?
Dental filling is a treatment method to restore the function and appearance of a decayed or damaged tooth. After the decayed or broken part of the tooth is cleaned, the resulting cavity is filled with filling material. This restores the chewing function of the tooth and prevents further damage to the tooth structure. Fillings can be made with different materials for aesthetics and durability; the most commonly used ones include composite (white filling) and amalgam (metal filling). The treatment aims to preserve the natural structure of the tooth and is usually a painless procedure.
Filling Treatment Process
Dental filling treatment is usually carried out in a few simple steps. First, the dentist examines the tooth and, if necessary, takes x-rays to determine the extent of the decay. Then, local anesthesia is applied to prevent discomfort during the procedure. The decayed tooth tissue is removed and the tooth is prepared for filling. The selected filling material (e.g. composite or amalgam) is placed in the tooth and shaped. Finally, the chewing function and comfort of the filling is checked and the procedure is completed.
