Dental Filling![]() The dentist will numb your teeth as well as your gums to keep you as comfortable as possible while the cavity is filled. The dentist will proceed to drill the decayed portion of the tooth so bacteria cannot spread and cause additional problems. Once the hole is drilled, the dentist will fill the area that was removed with a dental filling. The dental filling replaces the section of the tooth that the decay previously destroyed. Our dentist goes to the extent of molding the dental filling to ensure the proper match with your tooth’s unique contour. This detailed approach guarantees the dental filling restores the natural strength of the tooth. Contact our office today at (224) 341-5162 to schedule your appointment. |
