Direct fillings are typically completed in a single visit, making them a fast and convenient solution for repairing teeth.
One such treatment is direct fillings, a common and straightforward method to restore teeth affected by cavities or minor damage. Our skilled team is dedicated to ensuring that your experience is comfortable and your results are long-lasting.
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.
Direct fillings are typically completed in a single visit, making them a fast and convenient solution for repairing teeth.
We use high-quality materials, such as composite resin or amalgam, that provide strength and durability to withstand normal biting and chewing forces.
Composite resin fillings are tooth-coloured and blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, providing an aesthetically pleasing result.
Direct fillings require minimal removal of healthy tooth structure, helping to maintain the integrity of your natural teeth.
Once the filling material is hardened, you can use the repaired tooth immediately without any waiting period.
Direct fillings are a cost-effective way to treat cavities and minor tooth damage, making them accessible for many patients.
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.
Made from a tooth-coloured resin, composite fillings blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. They are ideal for visible areas of the mouth where aesthetics are important.
