Magic ones that remove the bad cavity and put in beautiful white fillings that do not hurt.

Your comfort is our utmost concern!

when doing a filling, the dentist usually starts by giving you some topical anesthetic to numb the gum around the area that will receive anesthetic, followed by the anesthetic injection which might be just slightly uncomfortable but will get you numb and will make the rest of the procedure virtually pain free. We usually use a hand piece to clean the cavity on the tooth and then we restored with a tooth color resin, which hardens whith a blue light that we shine upon the tooth. If you have any more questions feel free to ask.
Thank you for your interest

At Yang Dental Group, we always make sure before any procedure that the patient is completely comfortable and that they know exactly what is being done. We have excellent anesthetic techniques as well as a machine called the wand which greatly reduces any discomfort from typical injections. When the tooth is numb, then we use a dental handpiece to remove the decayed portion of the tooth, being as conservative as possible. Finally, the cavity is filled with a tooth colored resin material that is placed with a hand instrument and shaped and then cured with a blue light. Depending on the size of the cavity, the procedure can be completed in as little as 10 minutes and sometimes without any anesthetic. There should be little to no pain whatsoever with this procedure!

At Schlecht Family Dentistry we use the most cutting edge technology available today. For a more simple cavity we use our laser. No anesthesia, (no shots), there is NO pain!

Since a cavity is an area of a tooth that has been weakened by bacteria and possibly even become a hole, of course something has to be placed into the hole to restore the tooth to its original form. This can be done in many different ways and with many different instruments and equipment. Depending on how big the cavity is usually determines what instruments I will use to restore the tooth. Generally the deeper the cavity the more likely the tooth will need to be "put to sleep" with anesthetic. For most people it is the injection of the anesthetic that hurts the most when getting a cavity filled. There are a few ways to minimize any pain or sensitivity when having the tooth put to sleep. Once the tooth is asleep the bad area of the tooth needs to be removed so that whatever material is used to fill the hole will be able to seal the tooth and prevent more bacteria from entering. This can be done with a hand piece (drill), or a laser. The bad area is cleaned out and then the hole is prepared for whatever material is used to fill it. There are various cleaners and bonding agents (glues or sealers) that are used to ready the hole for the specific material being used to fill it. Many of them will be used as a glue to hold the material in place. They may also help keep the tooth from being sensitive after the filling is complete. These agents are placed in the hole usually with a brush and then blown into a thin layer. Once the hole is prepared then the filling material is placed into the prepared hole and it is then molded to mimic the area of tooth that was lost due to the cavity. When everything is completed the new restoration resembles the tooth before it had the cavity and is fully functional and esthetically looks good. If everything is done properly and effectively there should be little to no post operative sensitivity and the restoration should last for a number of years.
