In most cases, we can place composite fillings in a single visit. The dentist will remove decay and cavity after numbing the tooth. Before applying the new filling, the area will be thoroughly cleaned and prepared.
If you have decay close to the tooth’s nerve, the dentist will use a medicine known as liners to add additional protection. Then, the filling is precisely inserted, contoured, and polished to restore the shape and function of your tooth.
At first, you may experience some sensitivity to extreme temperatures, but as the tooth becomes acclimated the sensitivity should subside.
