Do You Need Dental Fillings ?

You probably know tooth decay by the dreaded word, “cavities,” but don’t fear. Zara Dental Service’s skilled dentists and staff will walk you through your treatment to help you remain calm and comfortable through every step of the dental fillings process.

Cavities, or tooth decay, are actually caused by a bacterial infection that destabilizes the minerals in your tooth and causes them to soften. If the rate of demineralization exceeds the rate at which minerals are being added to your teeth through your saliva and other factors, such as fluoridated or calcium-enriched toothpaste, then the hard tissues of your tooth begin to break down, resulting in holes in the teeth.

More About Dental Fillings

1

The Dental Filling Procedure at Zara Dental

After this occurrence, restoring the tooth with a dental filling will be necessary. The dental procedure comprises two essential steps: (1) creating space for restorative materials by trimming the tooth and (2) eliminating any decay from the tooth to maintain its structural integrity. Next, the dentist fills the space with dental porcelain that matches the shade of the surrounding tooth. Although the procedure may appear overwhelming initially, under the supervision of our compassionate dental staff at Zara Dental, you will discover that the process will advance seamlessly. Your comfort will be the top priority for our team as we strive to rehabilitate your teeth and avoid the necessity for more extreme measures, such as extractions, in the future.

Inlays & Onlays

If a typical dental filling is insufficient, a dentist may recommend an inlay or onlay (also known as an overlay). They are more effective when dealing with larger chewing surfaces, such as the posterior teeth. Inlays are dental restorations that fit precisely into a tooth's cavity, while overlays enhance the shape and form of a tooth. Porcelain, composite, and metal constructions are all available options. Porcelain could be a suitable option for you if you are looking for a nearly invisible dental solution.

How to Avoid Teeth Decay

To keep your natural teeth as strong as possible, you must take every precaution to avoid dental decay. Generally speaking, an unfilled tooth is stronger than a filled tooth. You can prevent dental decay and the need for fillings by brushing your teeth twice a day, eating a range of nutritious meals, and drinking plain tap water instead of beverages with added sugar. Additionally, scheduling routine dental exams may guarantee that you don't have any issues and that they are manageable if you do. When dentists detect tooth decay in its early stages, they remove minimal tooth structure to accommodate a filling.

Types of Dental Fillings

Avoid causing cavities to your teeth. During a dental cavity filling, we will remove the decayed part of your tooth. Next, we will proceed to fill the cavity’s opening and seal it with an appropriate filling material. The purpose of this is to prevent further harm to the dentin of your teeth caused by food and acid produced by bacteria.

However, the whole Dental Filling procedure in Houston has the following benefits:

Strengthen Your Teeth

Dental fillings reinforce the integrity of your teeth. Dental caries can result in a cavity formed within your tooth structure. However, a dental filling procedure involves using restorative materials that can reinforce your tooth structure and enable it to withstand the cavity. Therefore, wearing them does not cause any harm to your teeth.

Enhance the Look of Teeth

It is possible to match the color of some dental fillings to the natural tint of the tooth. Coffee, tea, red wine, and sugary drinks are among the usual everyday liquids that could be the origin of these stains.

Well, to see if you need a dental filling treatment in Houston. Think about the following signs and symptoms:

  • Your teeth have a dark spot on them.
  • Your teeth broke or chipped during an accident
  • You have problems with sensitive teeth.
  • Food gets stuck between your teeth when you eat.
  • There is a hole and multiple cavities in your mouth.

To keep your fillings in good shape, you should follow good oral hygiene:

  • Visit your dentist twice a year for dental cleanings.
  • Use toothpaste with fluoride.
  • Floss at least once a day.

Contact our dentists at Zara Dental if:

  • Your tooth is susceptible.
  • You feel something sharp.
  • You notice if a filling has a crack or is missing a piece.

Your dentists in Houston will take X-rays if they think you have a cracked filling.

Dental fillings do, in fact, have a limited duration. Furthermore, dental fillings might break, chip, or discolor with time due to normal wear and tear.

Over time, occlusal forces can lead to debonding of the dental restoration from the tooth structure. The interdental space can facilitate the accumulation of food debris and cariogenic bacteria, leading to dental decay. This has the potential to cause tooth decay. The longevity of a filling can change based on the level of care it receives from the patient. We recommend brushing your teeth twice a day and flossing daily to maintain good oral hygiene.

The shade of the dental filling may undergo alteration. This indicates that the shade of your natural tooth may no longer be compatible with a white filling. Patients may express concern if this occurs in their anterior teeth. However, our dentists are capable of placing a new filling that perfectly matches the color of your original tooth.

Are You Afraid of the Dentist?

Thanks to the progress of dental science, you have nothing to worry about for any dental service you need, such as dental implants, tooth extraction, root canal, etc.

Call us today and give yourself the oral care and hygiene you deserve.
