The Benefits of Dental Fillings
Restored tooth strength and function
Dental fillings restore the strength and function of your teeth, allowing you to bite and chew without discomfort or limitations. With dental fillings, you can enjoy your favorite foods without worrying about tooth sensitivity or pain.
Improved oral health
By removing decay and filling the affected area, dental fillings prevent further damage to your teeth and gums. This helps to maintain optimal oral health and reduces the risk of developing more severe dental issues in the future.
Aesthetically pleasing results
At Apple Blossom Dentistry, we use tooth-colored fillings made from composite resin or porcelain. These materials can be matched to the shade of your natural teeth, ensuring a seamless blend and a beautiful smile.
The Dental Fillings Treatment Process
Examination and diagnosis
During your initial visit, Dr. Talon Haynie will examine your teeth and determine if dental fillings are necessary. He will use advanced dental tools and techniques to identify areas of decay and assess the extent of the damage.
Removal of decay
Once the decayed portion of the tooth is identified, Dr. Haynie will carefully remove it using specialized dental instruments. This process ensures that all decay is eliminated, leaving behind a clean and healthy tooth structure.
Filling placement
With the decay removed, Dr. Haynie will fill the cavity with a tooth-colored filling material. He will shape and polish the filling to ensure a comfortable and natural-looking result. The filling will bond securely to the tooth, providing long-lasting durability.
