FILLINGS

Dental fillings are a common procedure designed to repair minor tooth decay or damage. At Camden Dental, our approach to fillings is not just about treating cavities; it's about restoring your tooth's integrity and appearance. Using the latest materials and techniques, we ensure your fillings blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, enhancing your smile while protecting your dental health.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT MATERIAL

Our clinic offers a variety of filling materials, including composite, amalgam, porcelain, and gold. Composite fillings, matched to the color of your teeth, are perfect for those who prioritize aesthetics. Amalgam fillings, known for their durability, are often recommended for their longevity, especially in areas of the mouth that sustain heavy chewing pressure. During your consultation, we'll discuss the options that best suit your needs, considering both cosmetic preferences and functional requirements.

THE PROCESS

The process of getting a filling at Camden Dental begins with a thorough examination to assess the extent of decay or damage. Next, the affected area is numbed to ensure a comfortable experience. Our dentists then carefully remove the decayed or damaged material, clean the affected area, and prepare it for the filling. The selected filling material is then applied in layers, each layer hardened with a special light, and finally, the filling is shaped and polished to restore your tooth's natural look and feel.

AFTERCARE AND MAINTENANCE

Following a filling, it's common to experience temporary sensitivity to hot and cold. We recommend gentle brushing with a soft-bristled toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste to care for your new filling. Regular dental check-ups and cleanings at Camden Dental will ensure your fillings and overall dental health are maintained. With proper care, your fillings can last many years, providing you with a healthy and aesthetically pleasing smile.

At Camden Dental, we are committed to providing high-quality dental care in a comfortable and welcoming environment. Whether you're dealing with a new cavity or old fillings needing replacement, our team is ready to restore your teeth to their optimal health and appearance.
