Tooth decay can leave cavities in your teeth, which can weaken tooth structure. Your dentist at Hawkesbury Dental Centre can use a dental filling to repair a cavity.
Nurturing Your Smile: Choosing Hawkesbury Dental Centre for Personalized Dental Care
To support a healthy dentition, good oral hygiene may not always be sufficient, as teeth naturally age, making them susceptible to various forms of decay. Regular check-ups with your dentist can assist in identifying these issues, and among the potential treatments are dental fillings and obturations. These procedures aim to address the lesions created by tooth decay or aging.
For such treatments, you may consider Hawkesbury Dental Centre, where our dental team strives to offer attentive and personalized care in an inviting environment.

Learn More About Dental Fillings
A dental filling is a treatment aimed at repairing lesions on teeth by filling the holes. Various filling materials are available for this purpose.
The grey filling option can be more cost-effective, but some individuals may not prefer its appearance. In contrast, composite fillings offer a look that may be preferred by some, as they are more durable. Gold fillings can be highly durable, but may not be visually appealing to everyone. Finally, porcelain fillings offer both longevity and have a cosmetic appeal, albeit is offered at a slightly higher cost.
What is the intervention process for dental fillings about?
During a dental filling intervention, the dentist follows a specific process. Initially, the dentist removes the tooth decay, thoroughly cleans the cavity it created, and then applies multiple layers of obturation material. Each layer is hardened using a blue light for quick drying.
Finally, the dentist makes necessary adjustments to the dental filling and polishes it.
Meeting with the Dentist
For any dental treatment, the consultation for a dental filling begins with an evaluation of your oral health. The dentist then recommends an appropriate intervention for your situation.
Please note that your active participation in the consultation is encouraged to choose the solution that best suits your needs. Finally, the dentist schedules an appointment or proceeds with the intervention based on your availability.
