By   ·  1 minute read

Imagine a world where every smile is as bright and healthy as it can be. At Hillview Dental in Ventura, CA, we're making that vision a reality, one dental filling at a time. Whether you need a quick fix for a minor cavity or a more comprehensive solution for tooth decay, we've got you covered.

[Understanding Dental Fillings] Dental fillings are a cornerstone of restorative dentistry. They are used to repair teeth damaged by decay, restoring their function and appearance. The process involves removing the decayed tooth material, cleaning the affected area, and then filling the cavity with a filling material. This not only restores the tooth's integrity but also prevents further decay.

[Types of Filling Materials]

  1. Amalgam Fillings: Durable and cost-effective, ideal for back teeth.
  2. Composite Fillings: Tooth-colored fillings for a natural look.
  3. Gold Fillings: Long-lasting and aesthetically pleasing, but expensive.
  4. Ceramic Fillings: Resistant to staining and wear, mimicking natural teeth.

[FAQ: What Can I Expect During a Filling Procedure?] A: The procedure typically involves:

  • Numbing the affected area to ensure comfort.
  • Removing decayed tooth material.
  • Cleaning the cavity and preparing it for the filling.
  • Placing the filling material and shaping it to match your tooth's natural contours.
  • Polishing the filling for a smooth finish.
