How the Fillings and Bonding Process Works
When you come to Premier Dentistry for fillings or bonding, you can expect a seamless, efficient process from start to finish. Here’s what you can expect:
- Consultation and Examination: During your initial visit, our dentist will examine your teeth and determine whether you need a filling or bonding. We’ll take X-rays if necessary to assess the extent of any decay or damage.
- Preparation: For dental fillings, we will remove the decayed portion of your tooth and clean the area. For bonding, the surface of your tooth may be lightly etched to ensure the resin adheres properly.
- Application: The filling or bonding material will be carefully applied to your tooth. For bonding, we will sculpt and shape the resin to match the natural contour of your tooth.
- Curing: A special light is used to harden the material. This ensures that your filling or bonding is strong and durable.
Final Touches: Once the material is hardened, we will make any final adjustments to ensure a comfortable bite and natural appearance.
Maintaining Your Fillings and Bonding
Proper care is essential to ensure the longevity of your dental work. Fillings and bonding are both durable, but following good oral hygiene practices will help keep them in excellent condition. Here are some tips:
- Brush and floss regularly to prevent further decay or damage.
- Avoid chewing on hard objects, such as ice or pencils.
- Schedule regular dental checkups to monitor the condition of your fillings and bonding.
- If you notice any discomfort, sensitivity, or changes in your dental work, contact Premier Dentistry immediately.
