The most common use of tooth fillings is to fill a cavity in the tooth, however, tooth fillings can also be used to repair damage to teeth caused by teeth grinding (bruxism) or to replace part of a broken tooth.
Before filling cavities, your Smile Inn dentist will numb your teeth, gums and surrounding skin to avoid and lessen discomfort during the procedure.
Next, they will remove the decay in the tooth and replace it with a filling. This process only takes a few minutes.
Once you complete the procedure, your mouth will remain numb for a few more hours.
