Filling and Sealants
Fillings:
- We start by numbing the area around the affected tooth to ensure your comfort.
- Any decayed or damaged tooth material is carefully removed, and the area is cleaned.
- The cavity is filled with a durable, tooth-colored material, then shaped and polished to restore your tooth’s function and appearance.
Sealants:
- The teeth are cleaned and dried thoroughly.
- A special gel is applied to the chewing surfaces to prepare for the sealant.
- The sealant is painted on and hardened with a special light, creating a strong protective barrier against cavities.
Next Steps
After getting fillings or sealants, it’s important to continue good oral hygiene habits, including brushing and flossing daily.
- Schedule regular dental checkups to monitor the condition of your fillings and sealants and to maintain overall oral health.
