Dental Grilling

Dental drilling, also known as dental cavity preparation or tooth drilling, is a common dental procedure used to remove decayed tooth structure and prepare a tooth for the placement of a filling, crown, or other dental restoration. The process involves using a dental drill, which is a small, high-speed instrument that rotates to remove the decayed part of the tooth. At Elite Dental Clinic, Dental drilling can be categorized based on the purpose and extent of tooth preparation:

  • Cavity Preparation: This type of drilling is used to remove decayed tooth structure and prepare the tooth for a filling. The dentist will use a drill to remove the decayed part of the tooth and create a clean, smooth surface for the filling material.
  • Crown Preparation: Crown preparation involves drilling to reshape the tooth and create space for a dental crown, which is a cap that covers the entire visible portion of the tooth above the gumline. The dentist will remove a portion of the outer layer of the tooth to accommodate the crown.
