At Karma Dentistry, we understand that your smile is intrinsically tied to your self-confidence. For this reason, we use natural-looking dental fillings that elegantly repair damaged teeth while retaining the beauty of your smile.
Dental fillings are perhaps the most commonly utilized restorative dentistry treatment used for managing cavities and minor tooth damages. If tooth decay is detected early on, a filling can be done to effective carve away the defective portion and restore the function and form of the tooth. If left untreated filling, dental decay would spiral deeper into more complex problems like infections or even potential loss of tooth.
we utilize resin-based fillings which cure to a hard plastic consistency and result in composite restorations that match with your natural teeth color. Unlike silver (amalgam) traditional fillings, our approach at dentistry focuses on value-added services by blend-in fillings as ours are made from composite materials which are non-metallics and mercury-free mask fillers.When is a Dental Filling Necessary?
A dental filling may be indicated if you encounter:
Based on your examination, we will conduct a thorough evaluation along with obtaining the necessary digital x-rays to assess whether a dental filling is right for you.
We offer a variety of materials to meet the needs of our patients. Composite resin fillings can be matched to your natural tooth color, for an indiscernible restoration. They are ideal for patients who want a lifelike restoration, as well as those who wish to avoid metal. We also offer amalgam, which is very affordable and durable.
Currently, there is a debate among dental professionals regarding amalgam dental fillings, due to their mercury content. However, the latest scientific research shows both composite and amalgam to be safe treatment modalities. We stay up to date on the latest discoveries and developments regarding amalgam, and any other issue that may affect our patients.
Initially, your dentist will perform an examination to determine if a filling is the best option. Fillings are preferable to crowns, because they allow us to preserve as much tooth structure as possible. However, if the tooth structure is compromised, it may not support a filling. In that case, we will recommend a crown to restore and protect the tooth.
We begin by numbing the area, and then removing diseased tooth material. Once we have verified that all decay has been removed, the cavity is cleaned and sterilized. Filling material is added, shaped, and hardened. Lastly, we smooth and polish the tooth.
