How Bright Edge Dentists Fix Your Cavity
The bonding and white fillings process
Composite fillings and bonding are safe, affordable, look great, and can be completed in just one appointment. They are minimally invasive, mimic the natural appearance of teeth, preserve more tooth structure, and ensure a natural smile. A composite filling is an excellent choice for addressing tooth cavities and dental decay.
Here’s how it’s done:
Gentle Freezing
Before we begin, we will take the time to carefully numb your gums so we can gently freeze the area. People often feel anxious about this step. Freezing will numb your teeth and teeth nerves, as well as your gums and surrounding skin to avoid feeling unnecessary dental pain during the procedure. This step helps to treat dental pain effectively.
Filling the tooth
Once you’re comfortable, your decayed teeth are carefully cleaned to remove tooth decay and prepped. An adhesive gel is placed on the affected tooth, over which a composite resin will be molded and sculpted to restore the function and beauty of your smile. The composite resin material is preferred for its natural tooth color and durability.
Curing the Composite
The composite resin material used to fill or bond your tooth is quickly cured and hardened with a special LED light. The doctor will carefully examine your finished tooth and make any required finishing touches before polishing it up for a fresh new smile. This process ensures that the fillings restore strength to the tooth structure.
