When do you need a dental filling?
A filling is usually needed if there is a cavity or decay on the surface of the tooth.
It is recommended to see a dentist in the following situations:
* Your teeth are sensitive or frequently painful.
* You have bad breath.
* You have cavities or holes.
* The surface of your teeth is chipped.
Advantages of aesthetic, composite fillings

* Surface is resistant to wear
* Changes color with the teeth
* Perfectly integrates with tooth material
* Has a lifespan several times that of normal fillings
Process of getting a dental filling
Getting a dental filling is a simple and quick procedure, but the duration of treatment varies depending on the amount and quality of the filling material. It usually takes 30-60 minutes but can differ in each case. The formation of enamel grooves determines the required time. Our dentists put great effort into achieving excellent results.
This dental procedure is performed using local anesthesia to ensure the patient feels no pain. After the treatment, numbness is normal for a few hours due to the local anesthesia injection.
What to expect after treatment
The filling can be stained with tea, coffee, and food dyes, matching the color of your own teeth. Thus, the shade will not differ from your tooth color.
If the filling is too high, it can put excessive load on your own teeth, causing some sensitivity. If you notice this, please see your dentist to remove the unnecessary parts of the filling.
In some cases, the tooth may be sensitive to hot and cold for 1-2 weeks until your body gets used to the foreign material. If the pain does not subside, please contact your dentist!
