Dental Fillings in Arcadia
Dental fillings are a common procedure used to treat cavities or teeth decay and cracked or broken teeth. Fillings are used in order to prevent teeth from deteriorating further and to restore their normal functions, including chewing, swallowing, and talking.
You may need a filling for any of the following reasons:
- Decayed or worn teeth.
- Cracked or broken teeth.
- Chipped teeth.
- Space between two teeth.
The Procedure
The procedure itself takes up to an hour, which makes it relatively quick. Local anesthesia is applied to numb the area so that you are comfortable throughout the process. The filling is placed specifically to the shape and function of your tooth.
