Can dental fillings be used for all types of cavities?

Most of the cavities are easy to fill with fillings, as long as they are caught early. Large cavities and cavities that extend deep into the tooth could require more complex procedures like crowns or root canals.

What happens during a dental filling procedure?

The decayed tooth structure is removed by the dentist, sterilized, and rebuilt using the appropriate material, like, composite resin, amalgam, or ceramic, to restore both the function and aesthetics of the tooth.

Do dental fillings require anesthesia?

Yes, local anesthesia is used most frequently to anesthetize the area so that it becomes painless and comfortable.

How long does it take to get a dental filling?

Many of the fillings will take about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the location of the cavity and the size.

Visit Wolf Willow Orchid Dental for Dental Fillings in SE Calgary

The first visit begins with a deep examination of your teeth. We then take any necessary X-rays to see the extent of the decay or damage.
We use a local anesthetic to numb the affected area to ensure your comfort.
We make sure the decay or damage is removed from the portion of the tooth to receive the filling using specialized dental instruments.
We clean the cavity and disinfect it to eliminate bacteria and debris.
We apply the filling in layers. Each layer is cured (hardened) with a special light before adding the next layer.
After the cavity is filled, shaping begins to match the contours of your natural tooth. Finally, the filling will be polished so your tooth has a smooth finish.
