Dental Filling Procedure – Step by Step

1. Examination & Diagnosis

Dr. Prajakta examines the tooth using dental instruments and X-rays (if required) to determine the extent of decay.

2. Local Anesthesia (If Needed)

To ensure a painless experience, the area around the tooth is numbed for your comfort.

3. Removing the Decay

The infected or decayed part of the tooth is gently removed using advanced tools, ensuring healthy tooth structure remains intact.

4. Cleaning & Disinfecting

The cleaned cavity is thoroughly disinfected to eliminate bacteria and prevent future decay.

5. Placing the Filling Material

The selected filling material (usually tooth-colored composite) is applied layer by layer inside the cavity.
