    When Is A Dental Filling Needed

    Without a doubt, cavities are one of the most common indications for fillings. When harmful oral bacteria overgrow and convert sugar into acidic substances, they can erode the tooth enamel. This results in tooth decay, which can severely affect the appearance and functions of your teeth.

    Apart from cavities, there can be other reasons why our Houston dentists may recommend restoration with dental fillings. They include tooth chips, damaged or broken teeth, small gaps between teeth, small or uneven teeth, and worn-out tooth edges.

    Benefits of Tooth-Colored Fillings

    For several years, amalgam (also called silver fillings) has been the common choice for restoring dental cavities. Today, we offer more aesthetic tooth-colored fillings in Houston that provide several benefits. They include:

    • Natural appearance: Unlike amalgam, these fillings blend perfectly with the shade of your teeth, providing a more realistic appearance.
    • Durable: They are resilient to routine wear and tear and can last a long time with proper oral hygiene.
    • Reduced sensitivity: The filling material creates an insulating barrier on the tooth surfaces and does not conduct heat, minimizing tooth sensitivity.
    • Improved oral functions: Once your teeth have been restored, you can eat, chew, speak, and smile much more comfortably.

    Process of Dental Fillings

    In the majority of the cases, we use composite fillings at our clinic in Houston to restore your teeth as they provide a seamless finish. At the start of the process, our dentist will inject local anesthesia to make sure that you remain comfortable during the tooth preparation step. We will carefully trim the decayed parts of the tooth, preserving as much of the healthy tooth structure as possible.

    Our dentist will then apply an acidic solution for a few seconds to roughen the surface. This ensures proper bonding with the filling material. We will place composite resin and mold it to recreate the natural shape of your tooth. The filling is then cured and polished for a smooth, glossy appearance.
