Understanding Dental Fillings

Dental fillings are one of the most common dental procedures performed worldwide and are essential for repairing cavities and damage to the teeth. A filling helps to restore a tooth damaged by decay back to its normal function and shape, and it prevents further decay by eliminating areas where bacteria can enter the tooth. Materials used for fillings include gold, porcelain, silver amalgam, or tooth-colored, plastic, and materials called composite resin fillings.

We offer competitive pricing on dental fillings and work with most major insurance providers. Additionally, we provide payment plans to ensure our services are accessible to all.

The Process of Getting Dental Fillings

The process for receiving dental fillings is straightforward but carried out with the utmost care at French Smiles:

1. Examination: Our gentle dentist will first examine your teeth using advanced diagnostic tools to determine the extent of decay or damage.
2. Preparation: The affected area will be thoroughly cleaned, and decayed tooth material will be removed to prepare for the filling.
3. Filling Placement: The chosen filling material is then applied in layers to build up the tooth. A special light is used to harden each layer.
4. Finishing Touches: Once the layers are in place, the filling will be shaped to match the tooth’s natural contour, then polished to prevent staining and early wear.

Types of Fillings Available

We offer a variety of filling materials to suit every need and preference:

• Composite Resins: Also known as tooth-colored fillings, they are preferred for visible areas as they blend well with the natural color of your teeth.
• Amalgam: Known for their durability, these are often used for filling cavities in the back teeth.
• Gold and Porcelain Fillings: While more expensive, these materials are extremely durable and aesthetically pleasing.

Caring for Your Dental Fillings

To ensure the longevity of your dental fillings, consider the following care tips:

• Good Oral Hygiene: Brush twice a day, floss daily, and rinse with an antibacterial mouthwash to keep your fillings in good shape.
• Regular Check-Ups: Visit French Smiles regularly to ensure your fillings and other dental work remain intact and effective.
• Avoid Hard Foods: Chewing on hard foods like ice or hard candy can cause fillings to crack or become dislodged.
