Dental Fillings

Dental Fillings

Dental fillings are a common yet crucial procedure, often needed to rectify the damage caused by cavities or decay. It's a service that, when done right, can restore a tooth's functionality and appearance, ensuring that your smile remains as bright and confident as ever.

At the heart of this service is a team of seasoned professionals; their expertise and experience are second to none. They perform this procedure with precision and a keen understanding of the unique needs of every patient. The procedure begins with an examination to assess the extent of decay or damage. Once the assessment is complete, the dentist will prepare the tooth for the filling. This involves removing the decayed tooth material, cleaning the affected area, and then filling the cleaned-out cavity with a filling material.

The type of filling material used can vary. The choice of the material could be based on a variety of factors such as the extent of the repair, where in your mouth the filling is needed, and the cost. They could use gold, porcelain, a composite resin (tooth-colored fillings), and an amalgam (an alloy of mercury, silver, copper, tin and sometimes zinc).

Regardless of the type of filling used, our professionals ensure that the procedure is as comfortable as possible. They employ modern, pain-free techniques that take away the anxiety often associated with dental procedures. They ensure that patients are well-informed about the process, the materials used, and the care required post-procedure. This approach not only ensures the longevity of the filling but also promotes better oral health overall.

Once the filling is in place, it works just like your natural tooth. It restores the tooth's functionality, allowing you to eat and drink normally. It also prevents further decay by closing off spaces where bacteria may enter.

In conclusion, the dental filling service offered at Canton Dental Associates is more than just a procedure. It's a comprehensive solution that addresses the dental issue at hand, ensures patient comfort, and promotes long-term oral health. This service, based in Baltimore, MD, is a testament to the commitment of the team to provide top-quality dental care that leaves you with a confident and healthy smile.
