Dental Filling

As the first stage, the remaining tooth tissue is made ready for filling. At this stage, if there is an old filling that needs to be removed, the remaining tooth tissue is cleaned from these. After this process, as a second step, the gap formed is filled by selecting the appropriate material according to the position of the tooth in the mouth, its function, aesthetic requirements and the size of the filling. During these procedures, local anesthesia can be applied so that the patient does not feel pain.

As a final step, the compatibility of the filling with other teeth is checked. If there is any excess that will disturb the patient, it is removed.

Although it is not directly contagious, caries susceptibility can be contagious as a result of interpersonal bacterial exchange with various conditions.

Pain in the form of tingling in the gums and teeth after the filling process is applied is considered normal for a while. In addition, sensitivity to hot and cold factors is also a possible situation for a while. However, it is absolutely necessary to contact the dentist in cases that continue to worsen and turn into throbbing pain over time, starting on its own without a factor such as heat or cold.

The prices of the tooth filling process vary depending on the type of material used, the size of the tooth, and the position of the tooth. Prices also vary according to the number of teeth treated.
