This procedure restores the tooth's structure and functionality, preventing further decay and potential tooth loss. Our advanced techniques and high-quality materials ensure durable and aesthetically pleasing results.

What materials are used for cavity fillings?

At City Smiles, we use various materials for fillings, including composite resin, amalgam, and ceramic. The choice of material depends on the location of the cavity, the extent of decay, and patient preferences. Composite resin is popular for its natural appearance, while amalgam is known for its durability.

Is the cavity filling procedure painful?

The cavity filling procedure is generally not painful. Local anesthesia is used to numb the area around the affected tooth, ensuring a pain-free experience. You may feel slight pressure during the procedure, but it should not be uncomfortable.

How long does a cavity filling last?

The longevity of a cavity filling depends on the material used and your oral hygiene practices. Composite fillings can last 5-7 years, while amalgam fillings can last up to 15 years or longer with proper care. Regular dental check-ups help monitor the condition of your fillings.

How can I prevent cavities in the future?

To prevent cavities, maintain good oral hygiene by brushing twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, flossing daily, and visiting your dentist regularly for cleanings and check-ups. Additionally, reduce your intake of sugary foods and drinks and consider dental sealants for added protection.
