Why Do You Need a Dental Filling?

Dental fillings are necessary when a tooth has been damaged by decay or injury. They help to restore the tooth’s structure, function, and appearance. The most common reasons for needing a filling include:

  • Cavities: Small holes or decays in the tooth caused by bacteria and acids.
  • Cracks or Fractures: Teeth that are cracked or broken due to trauma or wear.
  • Worn-Down Teeth: Teeth that have been worn down over time from grinding or improper chewing.

If left untreated, cavities and cracks can lead to more severe issues, including infections or tooth loss. A dental filling is an easy, effective way to restore your tooth and prevent further damage.

Types of Fillings We Offer

At Banke Dental Health, we provide a variety of filling options, allowing us to tailor your treatment to meet your needs and preferences:

  • Tooth-Colored Fillings (Composite Fillings):

    These are a great option for visible teeth. Composite fillings blend seamlessly with your natural tooth color and provide a discreet and durable solution to cavities or cracks. They’re ideal for patients who want a natural-looking restoration without the appearance of metal.

    • Perfect for front teeth
    • Blends with your natural tooth color
    • Strong and durable

  • Silver Fillings (Amalgam Fillings):

    These are a more traditional and cost-effective option. Silver fillings are highly durable and long-lasting, making them ideal for back teeth that endure heavy chewing forces.

    • Long-lasting and durable
    • Cost-effective option
    • Great for back teeth

  • Ceramic Fillings:

    Ceramic fillings are made from durable porcelain and are often used for both aesthetic and functional purposes. They are highly resistant to staining and are perfect for restoring the natural appearance of your teeth.

    • Natural look and feel
    • Stain-resistant
    • Ideal for larger cavities in visible areas

  • Gold Fillings:

    Known for their strength and durability, gold fillings are an excellent choice for long-lasting restorations. While they are more noticeable than tooth-colored options, they can be a good solution for teeth that are difficult to fill.

    • Extremely durable
    • Highly resistant to wear
    • Custom-made for a perfect fit

Each of these filling types is safe and effective, and Dr. Tah will help you choose the best one based on the location and size of your cavity or crack.

The Process for Getting a Filling

At Banke Dental Health, we make the process of getting a filling as comfortable and easy as possible. Here’s what you can expect:

  1. Consultation & Exam: Our team will evaluate your tooth and discuss your options for restoring it with a filling. We’ll take digital X-rays to assess the extent of the decay and determine the best treatment.
  2. Preparation: We numb the area around your tooth to ensure you’re comfortable throughout the procedure.
  3. Filling Placement: The decayed portion of the tooth is carefully removed, and the cavity is cleaned before the filling is placed. If you’re getting a composite filling, we’ll layer the material in small sections and harden it using a special light.
  4. Final Adjustments: Once the filling is in place, we’ll make sure it fits perfectly and doesn’t interfere with your bite. We’ll also polish it to smooth out any rough edges.

The entire process is quick, typically taking just one visit, and we make sure to keep you comfortable every step of the way.
