Dental fillings is a time-tested procedure to restore a partially decayed tooth to his

healthy shape and function. A filling will shut off the gaps where bacteria can enter, and will also act as a preventive measure against future decay. At Sunshine Smiles Dentistry in Roswell, GA, our accomplished dentists will recommend the most appropriate filling treatment according to your unique condition.

Composite Resin Filling

Composite or plastic resin fillings are aesthetically appealing because these can be matched to the color of your teeth for a natural look. However, our dentists will not recommend composite fillings as an ideal option for large fillings because the resilience of composite is relatively weaker.

5-Step Dental Filling Procedure at Sunshine Smiles

During your oral health checkup, our dental providers will examine the surfaces of each tooth with the help of a small mirror. This exam will allow her to determine if you have a cavity that requires a filling. They may also take x-rays of a part of your mouth or the entire mouth to determine the full extent of damage caused by decay.

Step 1: Local Anesthetic

Our local dentists may administer a local anesthetic to numb the area around the affected tooth to keep you comfortable during the filling procedure.

Step 2: Removal of Decay

The dentist will use a tiny drill to cut through the enamel and remove any decay in the affected tooth. Following this, she will shape the space to place the filling.

Step 3: Etching

In case of a bonded filling, the dentist will precisely etch the affected tooth with an acid gel before the filling is placed.

Step 4: Applying Resin

Our dentist may apply a layer of resin and harden it with a sharp light after placing the filling. This will add to the strength and sustainability of the filling.

Step 5: Polishing

Once the filling process is completed, the dentist will gently polish the tooth to restore its natural, attractive appearance.
