Why Should I Get Dental Fillings?
A dental filling is more than just a solution to a cavity; it's an investment in your oral health. Neglected cavities can lead to severe tooth decay, causing pain, infection, and even tooth loss. By choosing to get a dental filling, you're not only treating existing decay but also preventing potential oral health complications. Furthermore, with modern dental technology, fillings are now more comfortable and natural-looking than ever before. At Cosmetic Dentistry of Napa, Dr. Rozenberg uses tooth-colored fillings that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, enhancing your smile while preserving your oral health.

The Benefits Of Dental Fillings
The Dental Fillings Treatment Process
Examination and Preparation
The first step in the dental filling process is a thorough examination of your oral health. Dr. Rozenberg will use advanced diagnostic tools to identify cavities or areas of decay. Once identified, the decayed area will be prepared for the filling. This involves removing the decayed tooth material, cleaning the affected area, and shaping the cavity for the filling.
Filling Placement
Once the cavity has been prepared, the next step is the placement of the dental filling. Dr. Rozenberg will apply the tooth-colored filling material to the cavity, shaping it to match the contour of your tooth. The filling is then hardened with a special light to ensure it's firmly in place and functions just like a natural tooth.
Polishing and Finishing
The final step involves polishing and finishing the filled tooth. This ensures that the filling is smooth and comfortable in your mouth, and that it matches the shape and color of your natural teeth. After this step, your dental filling procedure is complete, and you can enjoy a restored, healthy smile.
