Filling treatment is performed in cases such as tooth decay, fractures, or structural defects in the tooth. This treatment aims to restore the function and aesthetics of the tooth by cleaning and filling the decayed or damaged part of the tooth.

How is Filling Treatment Performed?

Filling treatment begins by numbing the damaged or decayed part with local anesthesia and cleaning it. Then, using appropriate filling material (composite, amalgam, porcelain, etc.), it is filled according to the shape of the tooth and hardened. In the final step, the filling process is completed, ensuring the tooth regains its natural appearance.

What Should Be Considered After Filling Treatment?

Pain or sensitivity after filling treatment is normal, but this should subside within a few days. However, if the pain persists or you experience any other problems, it is important to consult your dentist. It is also recommended to avoid hot, cold, and hard foods for a while after filling treatment.
