Dental Filling
​
​
If part of a tooth has been lost through decay or damaged due to an accident, your dentist may put in a dental filling. Dental fillings are used to fill a portion of tooth or plug the hole and stop any future pain or discomfort.
​
Types of Dental Fillings
​
There are two basic types of dental fillings:
-
Traditional Amalgam Fillings
-
Composite Resin Tooth-Colored Fillings
Our clinic uses variety of nanotechnology composite resin eg. 3M ESPE Filtek, Permisa Kerr, and Tetric® N-Ceram Ivoclar Vivadent for composite resin fillings.
​
Benefits of nanotechnology composite resin
​
-
Nanosized filler particles create a brilliant polish and retention
-
Gives excellent strength, durability and wear resistance for even the toughest posterior restorations
-

-
Low polymerization shrinkage for less stress on the tooth and less sensitivity potential for patients

Recovery Expectations
Having dental fillings and fillings replacement done is a quick and relatively simple process. There should be little or no sensitivity in teeth.
​
Dental fillings treatment can usually be completed within one visit if warranted. If however, there are a large number of fillings, the visits may be separated for better patient comfort.
​
Care for Dental Fillings
​
To maintain your fillings, you should follow good oral hygiene practices:
​
-
Brush at least twice a day. It is good practice to brush after eating and before bedtime.
-
Floss at least once to twice a day.
-
Rinse with fluoride rinse before bed. Swish the fluoride and rinse vigorously in your mouth for at least one minute. Do not swallow any of the rinse and do not eat or drink anything for 30 minutes
-
See your dentist for regular professional check-ups and cleanings. If your dentist suspects that a filling might be cracked or is "leaking", further assessment of the situation should be done
-
If your tooth is extremely sensitive, if you feel a sharp edge, if you notice a crack in the filling, or if a piece of the filling is missing, call your dentist
Dental Scaling and Polishing Treatment
​
When scaling and polishing is done, essentially this is a deep clean of your mouth. A special tool is used to get rid of the hard build up of calculus (tartar) then follow up by giving the teeth a thorough polish. The areas concentrated on are just below the gum line, behind your teeth and in the gaps in between them, as these are the regions commonly missed when we brush our teeth. Scaling and polishing helps prevent gum disease.
​
At our dental clinic uses the EMS Piezon technology. The EMS Piezon unit's small tip and high frequency scaling tool along with its water spray technology delivers higher patient comfort and makes the procedure for the removal of calculus (tartar) more time-effective. The EMS Peizon enables a more gentle and effective scale within a shorter treatment timeframe than conventional scaling tools. The unit is also designed for complete sterilization, a concept our clinic emphasizes on.

Tooth Scaling
​
Scaling or prophylaxis is the procedure of removing calculus (tartar), plaque, and stains from the teeth. Tooth scaling is part of professional tooth cleaning.
​
Tooth Polishing
Polishing of tooth surfaces is used to make these surfaces smooth which makes it more difficult for plaque and debris to accumulate on your teeth that causes decay or gum disease. Polishing is a preventive procedure used as a first-line defense against dental problems.
