Tooth Filling

Dental filling applied to cracked, broken or decaying teeth prevents tooth loss and contributes to the patient both in terms of health and aesthetics.

After the area around the tooth is anesthetized with local anesthesia, the area around the decayed/broken tooth is first cleaned. After the area is cleaned with an air abrasion tool or laser, your dentist may first put a lining made of glass ionomer, composite resin or other material to protect the nerve. After the filling is finished, it is polished by the dentist.
