DENTAL FILLINGS
Do You Need a Filling?
If you’re suffering from tooth decay or have a chipped or cracked tooth, you’re not alone! Nearly 90% of adults will need a filling at some point in their lives.
Left untreated, a cavity or damaged tooth may become severely infected and painful. A filling is a simple restoration designed to eliminate pain, remove decay, and make your tooth as good as new again.
With the help of Richmond Dental, you can get a filling made from natural, tooth-coloured material. Your filling will look and function just like a natural tooth.
What to Expect From Your Dental Filling
Step 1
Our dentist will gently numb your mouth — if you’re nervous, ask about sedation options like nitrous oxide.
Step 2
Relax while our dentist carefully removes decay and prepares the surface of your tooth.
Step 3
Our dentist will prepare your filling, place it into the prepared tooth, and make sure it is secured.
Step 4
In just minutes, your cavity will be gone and your filling will be all finished
You might have a cavity if…
The key to treating a cavity is early detection. In addition to regular dental checkups and exams, be on the lookout for symptoms like:
- Teeth that are sensitive to hot and cold
- Pain when biting or chewing
- Soreness on one side of the mouth
Be aware: Many cavities present no symptoms at all. They can only be diagnosed during your dental checkup.
The earlier a cavity is found and fixed, the smaller the filling will be! At Richmond Dental, our dentist use dental x-rays and other diagnostic tools to identify cavities in their earliest stages.
From dental implants to orthodontic braces and many other advanced treatments, Richmond Dental Clinic offers a wide variety of options to help you maintain a beautiful, healthy smile.
