Fillings are a technique used by dentists to treat cavities that have affected the surface of the tooth but have not reached the nerve. A cavity is an injury that destroys dental tissue and creates a cavity in the tooth. To treat it, the dentist cleans the cavity and removes the decay, leaving the tooth clean and free of infection.
Once the decay has been removed, the cavity is filled with a resin filling. These fillings are tooth-colored, which means that you can find different shades similar to the natural color of your teeth. This ensures that the filling is not visible and that the tooth looks natural.
It is important to note that it is recommended to go to the dentist every 6 months to assess the fillings and make sure they are not damaged or worn. In this way, bigger problems can be prevented in the future.
“Prevention is the key to good dental health.”
At Ortho Dental Especialistas, we offer a 3-year warranty membership on resin fillings. This means that if there is a problem with the filling during this period, we can repair it at no additional cost. In this way, our patients can feel safe and confident with their dental treatment.
