At Tayfun Civak Dental Clinic, we provide high-quality Dental Filling Services to restore the function and appearance of your teeth. Dental fillings are a common and effective solution for treating cavities and damaged teeth, helping to preserve your oral health and prevent further issues.

What is a Dental Filling?

A dental filling is a restorative procedure used to repair a tooth that has been affected by decay or damage. The process involves removing the decayed or damaged portion of the tooth and filling the cavity with a suitable material. Fillings restore the tooth’s structure, function, and appearance, preventing further decay and maintaining overall dental health.

The Dental Filling Process

1. Initial Examination: During your appointment, our dentist will perform a thorough examination of the affected tooth, including taking X-rays if necessary. This helps us assess the extent of the decay or damage and determine the best course of action.

2. Tooth Preparation: If decay or damage is present, the affected area of the tooth will be carefully removed to eliminate any compromised material. This step ensures that the filling will adhere properly and that the tooth is free from bacteria and decay.

3. Filling Material Selection: We offer various filling materials, including composite resin, amalgam, and glass ionomer. The choice of material depends on factors such as the location of the cavity, the size of the filling, and your personal preferences. Composite resin is a popular choice for its natural appearance and ability to blend seamlessly with your existing teeth.

4. Filling Application: The chosen filling material is then applied to the prepared cavity. For composite resin fillings, the material is placed in layers and cured with a special light to harden it. For amalgam or glass ionomer fillings, the material is packed into the cavity and shaped to match the natural contours of the tooth.

5. Final Adjustments and Polishing: Once the filling material is set, the dentist will make any necessary adjustments to ensure proper bite alignment and smooth the surface of the filling. This step ensures that the filling feels comfortable and functions like a natural tooth.

6. Post-Treatment Care: We will provide instructions on how to care for your filling and maintain good oral hygiene. Regular check-ups and cleanings will help ensure the longevity of the filling and monitor your overall dental health.

Benefits of Dental Fillings

• Restores Tooth Function: Fillings restore the ability to chew and bite normally, improving overall dental function.

• Prevents Further Decay: By sealing the cavity, fillings prevent bacteria from entering and causing additional decay.

• Enhances Appearance: Modern filling materials, such as composite resin, blend seamlessly with natural teeth, providing an aesthetic result.

• Durable and Long-Lasting: Quality fillings can last for many years with proper care, making them a durable solution for tooth restoration.
