Tooth Filling in Conway, NH
Tooth Filling
At Eastern Slope Dental
When Dr. Mulandi uses composite filling material for your tooth, you will hardly know it’s there, and neither will other people. That’s because we go to great lengths to match the filling material shade with your natural tooth as well as possible.
You can get a composite filling in just one visit at our Conway practice. Dr. Mulandi will remove the decay, then he will thoroughly clean out the tooth. Any discomfort can be mitigated through the application of a special medication.
Lastly, we use a special instrument to gently administer the composite filling material. After a few minutes, the composite resin is dry and you are free to go and resume regular activity.
Another advantage of tooth-colored fillings is they come with a lower risk of infection than with mercury fillings. It is also possible for pieces of metal fillings to break off, be swallowed, and even enter the bloodstream via saliva. This is rare, but the risk is there. You won’t have that risk with composite fillings.
Dental fillings are restorations used to repair teeth that have been damaged by decay, cracks, or wear. They restore the tooth’s shape, function, and strength while preventing further deterioration. At Eastern Slope Dental they list fillings among their restorative services used to help bring your smile back to health. By addressing the damage early, you avoid more complex treatments later.
Fillings come in various materials such as tooth-colored composite resin, traditional amalgam, or other restorative options depending on location, aesthetic preference, and condition. Eastern Slope Dental monitors your specific situation and selects a material that balances appearance, durability, and cost. The choice is tailored to your tooth’s position, chewing forces, and your cosmetic goals. You’ll receive a recommendation that suits your smile and mouth structure.
The process includes numbing the tooth area, removing decay or damaged structure, cleaning and preparing the tooth, placing and shaping the filling material, then polishing it for a natural finish. With modern techniques and local anesthesia, discomfort is minimal, and many patients report that it feels similar to getting a routine filling. Eastern Slope Dental focuses on patient comfort and clear explanation throughout the visit. You’ll leave with your tooth restored and ready to function normally.
