Understanding the Composite Filling process
Composite fillings are a simple and effective way to treat cavities and restore the integrity of your teeth. The process begins with the dentist gently removing the decayed portion of the tooth. Once cleaned, a tooth-coloured composite resin is applied in layers, shaped to match your natural tooth, and hardened using a special curing light. Finally, the filling is polished for a smooth and comfortable finish.
This procedure not only protects your tooth from further damage, but also blends perfectly with your smile. Treatment with Chapter One Dental Clinic in Edinburgh is both quick and pain-free, leaving you with a beautiful, long-lasting result.
Common signs you may need a Dental Filling
Recognising the early signs of tooth decay can help prevent the need for more complex dental procedures. If you're experiencing any of the symptoms below, it could indicate a cavity that requires a dental filling. Early treatment is key to protecting your smile and avoiding further damage.
-
Tooth sensitivity
If you experience sensitivity to sweet, hot, or cold foods and drinks, it could indicate enamel erosion or decay.
-
Visible changes to teeth
Dark spots, pits, or visible holes on the surface of a tooth are often early signs of decay that may require a filling.
-
Tooth pain & discomfort
Sharp or throbbing pain, especially when biting or chewing, can be a sign of a cavity or damaged tooth that may require a dental filling.
-
Chipped or rough surfaces
A chipped, cracked, or rough area on your tooth can expose the inner layers and lead to further damage if not restored with a filling.
-
Food getting stuck
If food frequently gets trapped in a specific area of your mouth, it might signal a cavity or space in the tooth that needs a filling.
