Schedule an Appointment Dental fillings are a versatile solution for addressing minor to moderate tooth damage. Whether caused by decay, minor fractures or chipping, a dental filling can restore the structure, function and appearance of a damaged tooth. This treatment helps to maintain your overall oral health and ensures that your smile stays healthy and confident.
At Shoreline Dental Chicago, we offer composite fillings, which are a popular choice for their natural appearance and durability. Composite fillings are made from tooth-colored resin, allowing them to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. This option is especially beneficial for visible teeth, as it ensures your smile looks flawless.
The Dental Filling Process
The placement of a dental filling is a straightforward procedure that typically requires just one visit. First, our dentists will carefully examine the affected tooth to determine the extent of the damage. Using advanced techniques, Dr. Mollie Rojas or Dr. Sonal Patel removes the decayed or damaged portion of the tooth, ensuring the remaining structure is clean and healthy.
Once the tooth is prepared, the filling material is placed into the cleaned cavity. For composite fillings, the material is shaped and molded to perfectly match the contours of your tooth. After achieving the desired shape and fit, we use a special curing light to harden the filling. Finally, the tooth is polished to ensure a smooth, natural finish and a comfortable bite.
Benefits of Dental Fillings
Dental fillings not only restore damaged teeth but also prevent further decay or damage. Composite fillings are particularly advantageous due to their aesthetic appeal and strong bond with the natural tooth structure. They can last for many years with proper care, providing a durable and reliable solution.
If you have a cavity or a chipped tooth, a dental filling may be the perfect treatment to restore your oral health and protect your smile.
