One Family Dental in Indianapolis and Greenwood offers dental fillings to relieve pain and make your smile beautiful. Using advanced techniques and materials that match natural tooth color, our board-certified dentist, Dr. Prasad Sanku, precisely fills cavities caused by disease or injury. With his dedication to patient comfort and reliance on proven methods that halt decay, Dr. Sanku helps people of all ages restore their confidence and smiles. At One Family Dental, we cherish the relationships we build through understanding each patient’s unique needs and delivering reliable dental care.
Dr. Sanku prepares the tooth using a drill to remove any decay and shape the structure to accept the filling material. Local anesthetic is usually applied to numb the area before drilling. Dr. Sanku eliminates all infected and softened enamel and dentin, leaving only healthy tooth structure. This helps make sure the filling bonds properly.
Once the tooth is prepared, Dr. Sanku selects a sealing material, such as composite resin, silver amalgam, porcelain, or GIC. This substance is placed and shaped to fit the space. It may be built in layers and hardened with a curing light or dental cement. The filling is contoured to have a natural shape and bite.
Dr. Sanku trims any excess filling material and polishes the restoration using special dental tools. This helps smooth the structure for patient comfort and provides an even surface to prevent plaque buildup. The polished filling matches the tooth and restores its form and function.
Finally, Dr. Sanku asks the patient to bite down so he can inspect the newly placed filling. He checks bite alignment and makes necessary adjustments to the tooth shape. This additional procedure ensures the tooth makes even contact with the opposing teeth. Dr. Sanku always aims to achieve proper form and comfort.
I am a new patient and very glad I chose this dentist office. I felt welcomed. Staff was professional and kind and I also felt comfortable when I got in “THE CHAIR”. I am one of those who has a little anxiety when it comes to “Dentist appt. today”. A big thank you and it was a pleasure to meet my new dentist family.
