DENTAL FILLINGS IN MISSISSAUGA

“I Need To Replace My Tooth. What Should I Do?”

Dental fillings are a general dentistry procedure. They’re used to repair damaged teeth and prevent further decay, while also restoring the natural color of your teeth and smile.

SIGNS YOU MAY NEED FILLING

  • Pain in the tooth, including tooth aches, throbbing pains, and sharp pains
  • Sensitivity in the tooth when you touch it or put pressure on it (e.g., when eating, brushing)
  • A visible hole in the tooth or mark that might indicate a hole exists
  • A rough or jagged feeling in the tooth when you run your tongue over it


If you don’t experience any of these symptoms, however, it is still possible that tooth decay may be present and that you will need a filling. This is often the case with smaller holes that may exist in your teeth, but that won’t necessarily cause you any pain or discomfort.

THE FILLINGS TREATMENT PROCESS AND WHAT TO EXPECT

Several steps are required for tooth-colored fillings and are as follows.

  • After we have removed the decay and cleaned the area, the tooth-colored material is applied in layers.
  • Next, a special light that “cures” or hardens each layer is applied.
  • When the multilayering process is completed, we will shape the composite material to the desired result, trim off any excess material and polish the final restoration.
