Dental Fillings
Overview
Dental fillings are used to restore teeth that have been damaged by decay, wear, or minor fractures. When a cavity is detected, the decayed portion of the tooth is removed, and the space is filled with a durable material to restore the tooth’s shape, strength, and function. Treating cavities early prevents deeper decay, infection, and the need for more complex procedures later.
What to Expect
Your dentist will first numb the area to ensure you’re comfortable. The decayed portion of the tooth is carefully cleaned out, then the space is filled and shaped to match your natural bite. Most fillings are completed in a single visit.
At Nori Dental Studio, we use tooth-colored composite resin materials that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth for a more aesthetic result. In some cases, other materials such as porcelain may be recommended depending on the location of the cavity, chewing forces, and patient preference.
Aftercare
It’s normal to experience mild sensitivity to pressure, temperature, or sweets for a few days after treatment, this usually improves quickly. Continue brushing and flossing daily, and avoid chewing very hard or sticky foods immediately after your appointment. Regular checkups help ensure your fillings stay in good condition over time.
Why It Matters
Dental fillings stop the spread of decay, restore tooth strength, and preserve natural tooth structure. Addressing cavities early keeps your mouth healthy and helps prevent more extensive treatment like root canals or crowns later on.
