A dental filling treatment is a process of filling the decayed, cracked, or worn teeth with a special filling material. The structurally compromised tooth is restored in conformity with its original form through this treatment. It is one of the most preferred treatments for the reasons of preventing tooth loss, having a positive effect on dental health, eliminating aesthetic problems, and being an easily applicable process.
The dental problem is determined by performing a detailed intraoral examination on the patient before the dental filling treatment. A dental x-ray examination is performed on the area to be filled following the determination of the problem and if the problem is a cavity, the carious area is removed and prepared for the process. The inside and the surrounding areas of the tooth are deeply cleaned during the cavity-removal process. The necessary area is filled with filling material by the dentist. The patient has to pay attention to oral hygiene post-treatment.
