Before you get a filling, our team will conduct an oral exam and takes digital X-rays of your tooth to determine the extent of the decay.

Next, your dentist administers a local anesthetic, numbing your tooth roots and gums. Once the anesthesia sets in, your dentist carefully drills a hole in your affected tooth. After removing the decay, your tooth will be cleaned with an antiseptic solution. Next, your dentist applies a composite resin solution to your tooth. This process repeats several times, curing each layer with a special light. After filling your tooth, your dentist polishes it and checks your bite to ensure it aligns. You leave the office with a healthy, happy smile.
