Filling Treatment

Filling treatment (Restorative) is the procedure of repairing tooth tissue damaged by decay or trauma. The aim is to restore the tooth's function and aesthetics to its former state, and to relieve pain and sensitivity. It is one of the basic applications of restorative dentistry.

Filling Materials and Options

Today, different filling materials such as composite (white), amalgam (gray-metallic), glass ionomer and porcelain are used. Composite fillings are the most preferred due to their aesthetics and durability. Material selection is determined according to the tooth's position, patient's expectations and clinical condition.

Filling Application Process

First, the decay is cleaned and the tooth surface is prepared. Then the selected filling material is carefully placed and shaped. Finally, the filling is hardened with light and adjusted to the tooth's function. The procedure is usually completed in a single session.

Importance of Filling Treatment

Timely filling prevents further damage to the tooth and avoids more comprehensive procedures like root canal treatment in the future. It offers a painless, quick and economical solution. Dr. Dt. Gizem Ömeroğlu aims to protect your oral health with carefully applied filling treatments.

Who Should Get Filling Treatment?

Anyone with tooth decay or tooth loss due to trauma can get filling treatment. Early intervention ensures the tooth is long-lasting and helps protect oral health.
