Dental Filling Treatment
The first step of a dental filling treatment in Syracuse is to identify and remove any tooth decay. We will examine your teeth, possibly take x-rays, and numb the affected tooth with local anesthetic for comfort. Using a handpiece, we’ll remove the decay and clean the tooth. The composite filling material is then applied and hardened with a curing light. After filling the tooth, we’ll check your bite and make any necessary adjustments. Finally, the filling is smoothed and polished to match your natural teeth. With proper care, dental fillings can last for many years.
