Tooth Fillings in New York
The world of attractive people is filled with the best emotions – smiles. Every day we smile many times when meeting relatives and friends and give smiles to strangers.
Not everyone, alas, can smile broadly without a complex. The reason for this is the unimportant appearance of the teeth. Many external and internal factors can harm and destroy tooth enamel. As a result of the destruction of enamel on the teeth, unaesthetic spots appear, the sensitivity of the teeth increases, the risk of developing caries increases, etc.
What is a Tooth Filling in iSmile Dental?
Dentists of the iSmile Dental clinic successfully work to restore the aesthetic appearance and functionality of decayed teeth. The most famous option is tooth filling. Our doctors' task in the filling is to achieve maximum compliance of the restored tooth with its natural form. Also, this method allows you to repair the tooth while maintaining its shade and functionality. In addition, modern fillings prolong the life of teeth, provide them with additional protection against caries, and reduce the sensitivity of enamel.
At the reception, the doctor conducts an examination and, if necessary, prescribes additional X-ray diagnostics. If there is a need, the patient is given an injection of the drug for local anesthesia. With the help of a drill, the specialist removes damaged tissues and prepares the tooth for filling. Next, etching and drying are carried out before applying the filling material. And finally, the final giving of the filling is a shape that repeats the tooth's natural shape and smoothness.
You can also put a filling on a de-pulped tooth (without a dental nerve). In this case, the treatment is carried out in 2 stages, and the restoration (permanent filling) is carried out with a positive result of endodontic treatment.
The efficiency and aesthetics of filling today result from the development of innovative materials to manufacture fillings. Different materials for fillings are used depending on the nature and volume of tooth decay, aesthetic, strength, and other requirements in dentistry.

What can not be done after filling the tooth?
For an hour, refrain from eating. You can not try to file or fix the fill yourself. Give excessive chewing loads on the tooth.
How is the filling placed? Does it hurt?
No. Even if the caries are deep enough or the nerve needs to be removed to treat the tooth, dentists use local anesthesia, which completely anesthetizes the tooth. And if the caries is shallow, its treatment can be carried out without anesthesia – there will be no pain.
Why does a tooth turn black with a filling?
They are formed between the filling and dentin if during the filling, the doctor did not altogether remove the damaged tissue, did not clean the cavity, or if the filling did not fit the tooth tissue tightly enough. Some materials for filling dental canals contain substances that can stain dentin.
Is it possible to live without a seal?
The longer a person walks without a filling, the worse the consequences will be. Seals serve to close the channels, and without them, they will be open; it is urgent to return them to their place. Bacteria will get directly into the jaw, and periodontitis will develop – inflammation of the tissues inside the jaw.
How is it time to change the filling?
The first symptom of the impending loss of the filling may be discomfort while chewing – an unpleasant feeling of “sand on the teeth”. Micro gaps between the filling compound and the tooth accumulate food residues, which also cause discomfort.
How long does it take to make one seal?
Filling of teeth takes from 40 to 90 minutes. The price of a tooth filling depends on the quality of the material from which it is made, as well as the service life: the filling can be temporary and permanent.

Fillings are recommended to be changed on average once every five years. Some can last ten years. But even those made of durable, high-quality compounds need to be replaced after a while.

Ceramics. Solid, aesthetic, durable material. Ceramic fillings are made in the laboratory and installed on the prepared tooth. They exactly repeat their anatomical shape, do not shrink, and look like their own enamel.
