Your Treatment Journey
Before treatment begins, you’ll have the opportunity to speak with a friendly treatment coordinator, who will explain the process and answer your questions in plain English.
Step 1 – Consultation
Your dentist will examine the affected tooth and may take X-rays to assess the extent of decay or damage. Healthy gums are essential before placing white fillings, so if signs of gum disease are present, we may recommend gum disease treatment or a visit to our dental hygienist first. Teeth cleaning or airflow polishing may also be advised to ensure the tooth and the surrounding area are clean before treatment.
Step 2 – Treatment Appointment
The area is gently numbed if needed, and any decay is carefully removed. The white filling material is then layered into the tooth and hardened using a special light. Finally, the filling is shaped and polished so it feels comfortable and looks natural when you bite or smile. Most patients find the procedure straightforward and comfortable.
