Dental fillings are most commonly used to treat cavities, to repair cracked or broken teeth, and treat teeth that worn out over time. It is said that people will get at least one tooth filling.
Most dental filling procedures include the following:
Topical anesthetic to numb the area before treatment proper begins
Decay extraction from the affected teeth
Tooth restoration is done using a composite filling
A Bite check is conducted to make sure your teeth align comfortably
