FilLing and Scaling

The essential dental procedures designed to enhance your oral health and restore the natural beauty of your smile. 

Whether you’re looking to improve tooth shape and alignment or maintain optimal dental hygiene, these treatments play a crucial role in achieving optimal oral health. 

What Is A Dental Filling

Filling, also known as dental contouring, involves the precise removal of small amounts of tooth structure to reshape teeth, correct imperfections, and create a more harmonious smile. This procedure is commonly used to address issues such as uneven tooth edges, misshapen teeth, or minor overcrowding. By carefully reshaping the tooth surface, filling can improve both the aesthetics and functionality of your teeth.

What Is A Dental Scaling

Scaling, on the other hand, focuses on the removal of plaque, tartar, and bacteria that accumulate on the tooth surfaces and below the gumline. These deposits, if left untreated, can lead to gum disease, tooth decay, and other oral health problems. Scaling is performed using specialized instruments to gently remove these deposits, promoting healthier gums and preventing the progression of gum disease.

Suitable for individuals who:

  • Have dental cavities: Dental fillings are used to restore teeth affected by cavities or tooth decay. If you have a cavity, a dental filling can help repair the damaged tooth structure, prevent further decay, and restore its function and appearance.

  • Experience tooth sensitivity: Tooth sensitivity can be caused by exposed tooth roots or enamel erosion. Dental fillings can be used to address these issues, reducing sensitivity and improving comfort.

  • Have minor tooth fractures or chips: Dental fillings can be used to repair minor tooth fractures or chips, restoring the tooth’s shape, strength, and aesthetics.

  • Require dental restoration after root canal treatment: After a root canal procedure, a tooth may require a dental filling to seal the treated tooth and restore its functionality.

  • Have gum disease or tartar buildup: Scaling, also known as dental cleaning or deep cleaning, is a procedure that removes plaque, tartar, and bacteria from the teeth and gums. It is suitable for individuals with gum disease (gingivitis or periodontitis) or those who have a buildup of tartar that regular brushing and flossing cannot remove.
