Gold fillings are the longest-lasting type of filling — with proper care, they can last two to four times longer than other filling materials.
The Dental Fillings Treatment Process
Local Anesthesia
First, your dentist will apply local anesthesia to numb the nerves near the treatment area. This ensures you won’t feel any pain or discomfort throughout the filling process.
Removal Of Decay
Next, a dental drill will be used to remove decayed enamel and damaged material from your tooth. Then, your dentist will clean and disinfect the area to prepare it for your filling.
Filling The Tooth
Your dentist will fill your tooth and restore its structure with the filling material. Once the tooth has been filled, the filling will be trimmed and adjusted to ensure it looks natural and feels comfortable.
