Cavity Fillings: Preserving Your Smile with Dr. Amira Lashin

Cavities, or tooth decay, are common dental problems that can lead to pain, infection, and tooth loss. Dr. Amira Lashin offers effective cavity filling treatments to restore your teeth’s health and function.

What is a Cavity Filling?

A cavity filling is a dental procedure used to repair tooth decay. During the procedure, Dr. Amira Lashin will remove the decayed portion of the tooth and fill the cavity with a restorative material.

Types of Fillings:

• Amalgam Fillings: A mixture of metals, including mercury, that has been used for many years.
• Composite Fillings: Tooth-colored fillings made of resin material that can be matched to the color of your natural teeth.
• Ceramic Fillings: Highly durable and aesthetic fillings made of porcelain.

The Filling Procedure:

1. Anesthesia: Local anesthesia is administered to numb the area.
2. Decay Removal: Dr. Amira Lashin will carefully remove the decayed portion of the tooth using specialized dental instruments.
3. Filling Placement: The cavity is cleaned and prepared to receive the filling material.
4. Final Adjustments: The filling is shaped and polished to match the surrounding teeth.

With Dr. Amira Lashin’s expertise, you can receive high-quality cavity fillings that will protect your teeth and maintain your beautiful smile.
