Tooth Filling

Tooth filling is a common dental procedure that’s employed to restore damaged or decayed teeth to their normal function and shape. At Royce Dental, we offer top-quality tooth filling services to ensure your dental health and comfort.

Importance of Tooth Fillings:

• Cavity Treatment: Tooth fillings are essential for treating cavities (dental caries) and preventing the spread of decay.
• Tooth Preservation: Filling a tooth helps preserve its structure and prevents further damage.
• Restoration of Function: Filled teeth regain their normal functionality, including chewing and speaking.

Types of Tooth Fillings:

• Amalgam Fillings: Made of a combination of metals, amalgam fillings are known for their durability and cost-effectiveness.
• Composite Fillings: These are tooth-colored fillings that blend seamlessly with natural teeth, offering a more aesthetically pleasing option.
• Ceramic Fillings: Ceramic or porcelain fillings are highly durable and provide a natural appearance.

The Filling Process:

• The dentist removes the decayed or damaged portion of the tooth.
• The cavity is cleaned and prepared for the filling material.
• The chosen filling material is placed in the prepared area and shaped to match the natural tooth structure.
• It’s then polished for a smooth finish.

Aftercare: After a filling, it’s essential to maintain good oral hygiene through regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups.

Cost: The cost of tooth fillings can vary based on the type of filling material and the extent of dental work required.

At Royce Dental, we prioritize your oral health and comfort, offering tooth filling solutions that suit your needs. Our experienced dental professionals ensure that your fillings are not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing, helping you maintain a healthy and confident smile.
