Tooth fillings is something we do day in and day out, I would say that’s a big part of what we do here. And it’s basically we’re removing the decay after the cavity is detected at, whether it’s just a routine checkup or if it’s just an office visit under the patient’s inquiry. We remove the decay and then we put in the resin in its place after the decay removal. We don’t do any silver fillings here. We only do composite resin which are tooth colored. So no mercury in the office. No silver fillings. We only do tooth color restorations.
Restore Your Dental Health With a Filling
A cavity is nothing to be embarrassed about. However, you don’t want to leave a cavity untreated. Left untreated, decay puts your teeth and your oral health at risk. It can also lead to a more expensive procedure to address the damage.
Our team has extensive experience restoring patients’ smiles, so your tooth repair is in good hands here. We offer tooth-colored composite fillings to repair your teeth. They offer many benefits:
- Natural Appearance – Unlike amalgam fillings which stand out in your mouth, composite fillings are the same color as your teeth and blend in perfectly.
- Less Tooth Structure Removed – Your dentist won’t have to remove as much tooth structure to bond the filling to your teeth.
- Reduced Sensitivity – Composite fillings are less likely to cause sensitivity compared to metal fillings, which can expand and contract with temperature changes.
- Easier to Repair – If a non-metal filling becomes damaged or wears down over time, it can be easily repaired or replaced without having to remove the entire filling.
For more significant damage or a larger cavity, your dentist may recommend a dental crown instead. We’ll discuss all of our options with you to ensure you feel confident about your treatment.
