What Are Direct Fillings?

Direct fillings, also known as dental fillings, are used to repair cavities and minor tooth damage. The procedure involves removing the decayed portion of the tooth and filling the area with a durable material that restores the tooth’s function and appearance. This treatment is called “direct” because the filling material is applied directly into the cavity and hardened in place.

The Direct Fillings Process

Our journey begins with a thorough dental examination. Our dentist will assess your teeth and determine if a direct filling is the appropriate treatment for you.

If a cavity or minor damage is detected, the affected area will be prepared by removing the decayed portion of the tooth.

The chosen filling material, such as composite resin or amalgam, is applied directly into the prepared cavity. Composite resin is typically used for its natural appearance, while amalgam is known for its strength and durability.

The filling material is carefully shaped to match the natural contours of your tooth. For composite resin fillings, a special light is used to harden the material quickly.

Once the filling is hardened, our dentist will polish it to ensure a smooth surface and comfortable bite.

Types of Direct Fillings
