Restorative procedures are essential to maintain and restore the function and aesthetics of your teeth when they become damaged or infected. Fillings and Root Canal Treatment (RCT) are two of the most common restorative procedures, both designed to preserve the health of your teeth and relieve discomfort caused by decay or infection.
Fillings are typically used to repair cavities caused by tooth decay. When bacteria penetrate the enamel and cause decay, the affected portion of the tooth is removed, and a filling is placed to restore the tooth’s structure. Filling and Root Canal Treatment (RCT) is needed when a tooth’s pulp becomes infected or inflamed due to deep decay or injury. In an RCT, the infected pulp is removed, the root canals are cleaned and sealed, and the tooth is restored to its full function.
At Dr. Sofia Hawelia’s clinic, both procedures are performed with the utmost care and precision to restore your tooth’s health and maintain the natural beauty of your smile.
Dr. Sofia ensures a pain-free experience by using advanced technologies, offering various types of fillings, and performing RCT with modern techniques for quick healing and optimal outcomes.
Common signs include persistent tooth pain, sensitivity to hot or cold, swelling around the tooth, or discomfort while chewing. If you experience these symptoms, a root canal may be needed to save the tooth.
Modern root canal treatments are minimally painful due to advanced techniques and anesthesia. Most patients report that the procedure feels similar to getting a filling and provides relief from severe tooth pain.
A dental filling usually takes 20–45 minutes, depending on the cavity size. A root canal may take one to two appointments, each lasting 45–90 minutes based on the tooth’s condition and complexity.
A dental filling treats small to medium cavities on the tooth surface. A root canal is required when the tooth pulp becomes infected or damaged. It cleans and restores the inner part of the tooth to save it from extraction.
With proper care, dental fillings can last 7–15 years, while root canal–treated teeth often last a lifetime when supported with a crown and good oral hygiene.
