Our dentist prepares the affected tooth by removing any decay and applying a bonding agent to the surface. Next, the composite resin will be applied in layers until it fills the tooth. Once everything has hardened, your filling will be shaped, trimmed, and polished to match your natural teeth.
While many patients won’t realize they require a filling until they’re being examined by our team, there are some common signs that can indicate that your tooth is experiencing decay. These may include sharp pain when biting down, increased sensitivity to cold or hot drinks, and the presence of visible holes or discolorations in your teeth. If you experience any of these symptoms, contact our practice for an appointment today!
