Steps to identifying and treating a cavity / broken tooth in your mouth can be determined by the Skygate Dental professionals.
How Do I Know if I Need a Filling
Identification
The first step in dental filling process include an oral exam to determine not only the teeth experiencing pain but any other teeth with fillings required. Any teeth identified as having carries / a cavity is recommended to be treated early. When left untreated further damage and further tooth decay can occur. This can generally lead to pain, broken teeth leading to larger fillings, additional treatment such as root canal treatment and a crown, or ultimately a tooth extraction. If you experience intense pain in a tooth it needs to be attended to so healthy parts can be saved. Skygate Dental will choose the correct diagnostic tool to ensure your cavity fillings are best suited to your needs. Identification of a cavity can also allow us to check for subsequent holes.
Discussion and Confirmation
Following the oral exam, a discussion of the surfaces affected the by cavity, the types of filling materials best suited, the risks (any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks), the likelihood of success, and the total dental fillings cost will take place between the patient and the Dentist.
X-rays for More information
Next, often times x-rays are then preformed to determine the depth of the cavity and its proximity to the nerve. This assists in determining the likelihood of long term success of the filling procedure.
Filling appointment
The next step in the dental filling procedure is to determine the dental filling material best suited for your restoration. Many factors are considered during this step, which include but are not limited to tooth location, tooth structure, surrounding tooth structure, if an old filling is present, depth of the cavity or break in the tooth and much more. If the depth of the cavity or break is in close proximity to or has exposed the nerve, it is possible to require additional treatment to settle a toothache. The most common procedure would be a root canal. Any additional procedures including root canals will be discussed prior to any treatment occurring.
Our appropriately qualified health practitioner will then numb the area (local anaesthetic) as required to ensure comfort for the patient during the filling procedure. Once numbing has been confirmed to be affective, they will begin to remove any tooth decay present to ensure no further decay will occur.
If the filling is required for a broken or damaged tooth structure they will clean the area to mitigate any possible future complications and restore teeth. The tooth surface including how many surfaces will require dental fillings. It is important to note all dental work carries risk, we will discuss any risks associated with your treatment prior to commencement.
