A dental filling is a dental procedure used to restore part of a tooth that has been damaged by decay. The objective with a filling is to remove the decayed area, clean it well, and “fill” the space with a material, returning the tooth to its normal shape and, hopefully, normal function.

Benefits of Dental Fillings

Quick Treatment

Depending on the treatment you choose, it can take a very short time. For example, it will not take even an hour for tooth-coloured filling treatment for three cavities. The whole procedure is also painless. A DENTARC administrate local anaesthesia to the treatment area which will ensure you don’t suffer any pain.

Eye Appealing

Depending on what your definition of appealing, any dental filling can be appealing. For example, gold is one of the most treasured metals in the world. Having gold fillings can make you feel proud of yourself and want to smile more.

Composite fillings are also very appealing. They blend perfectly with your teeth and no one will ever know you had a dental cavity. Your teeth will be white and beautiful as they should be.

Durable

Dental fillings are very durable. For example, gold fillings can last for up to 20 years. Even the cheapest dental fillings made of plastic can last for up to nine years. You just need to take good care of them. Maintain good oral hygiene and avoid chewing hard things like hard candies and ice.

 Most of Your Tooth Structure Remains Intact

Porcelain and composite fillings bond perfectly with your teeth. That means that the dentist will not have to remove a lot of your natural tooth structure. This makes it easy to treat the cavity and still maintain the natural look of your teeth.

 Versatility

Composite dental fillings can be used for more. They can be used to repair chipped and broken teeth.
