Dental filling; is the process of removing the damaged areas and filling the necessary areas with materials suitable for the tooth structure in cases where the structural integrity of the tooth is damaged or in order to make aesthetic arrangements.
Dental fillings are used to recover lost tissues in the treatment of decayed or broken teeth. In addition, it may be possible to use it in aesthetic treatments for filling the gaps between teeth depending on the distance.
The dental filling procedure can be performed in a single session and, if necessary, only by applying local anesthesia to the relevant area and the procedure is completely painless. After the aesthetic fillings are made, there is no restriction for food consumption. However, if anesthesia is applied, intraoral tissues may also be bitten and damaged during chewing due to numbness. Therefore, the effect of anesthesia wear off should be waited before eating. It is normal for sensitivity to occur after filling. This condition usually resolves within a week.
