Local anesthesia is used to numb the area of the tooth and surrounding area to have a painless procedure during treatment. Then decay is removed by using a dental drill and then creating a healthy sound and strong tooth structure that holds a filling well.
The cavity is then cleaned, disinfected, and dried to prepare it for a composite filling material to be placed in it.
The tooth is then light-cured after placing a filling in it. Then the contour and form are adjusted to the natural tooth form so that the patient feels comfortable and has a pain-free experience. Then after curing and bite adjustment tooth is properly polished.
