If You Are Due to Receive a Tooth Colored Filling, Here Is What You Can Expect
When you need a filling, it is nothing to worry about. Having your cavity filled is a straightforward process that your local dentist can perform in a comfortable and nearly pain-free way. When you visit Drs. Jay and Clare at Scenic Bluffs Dental in Prescott, Wisconsin, will be able to place a tooth-colored composite resin filling to restore the health of your tooth. If you have never had a dental filling service before, you should expect the entire procedure to take about an hour, during which you can ask questions, receive any necessary x-rays, and have your cavity filled.
What To Expect When You Go in For Your Filling
At the onset of your procedure, your dentist will apply a localized anesthetic to numb your gums, teeth, and nearby areas of your mouth where you will be receiving the filling. This anesthetic will help ensure that the procedure is comfortable for you and that you do not feel pain from any drilling or work done on your tooth. Once you are numb, the decayed portion of your tooth will be removed via drilling. This process will take a few minutes, during which you will feel slight pressure, but you should not experience discomfort. Once the decayed portion of the tooth has been completely removed, a composite resin will be layered into the newly created hole in the tooth. The filling material will be gradually applied in layers until the cavity is filled.
A special light will be applied to the newly applied composite to cure the filling and physically bond it to the tooth. This will be done after each layer of composite filling is applied, resulting in a filling that is not only strong but which looks natural and restores the full functionality of your tooth.
