First, your dentist at Creating Smiles Dental first uses special instruments to carefully remove any tooth decay. Then they clean your tooth and apply a special primer to open pores in the enamel — the outermost layer of your tooth — and dentin — the layer beneath. Afterward, a bonding agent is used to place the filling material over the tooth.
Your dentist shapes the cosmetic filling material to deliver a new, improved tooth that resembles your natural tooth. Using a curing light, the filling material is hardened in place. Together, you and your dentist run a few tests to make sure the new appliance is comfortable and fits snugly.
Once you and your dentist are comfortable with the fit and look, you move on to polishing the filling material and completing the procedure. Your dentist will schedule a follow-up appointment in the coming weeks to monitor your progress.
