Keep Your Teeth in Top Shape With Dental Fillings

Our dental practice provides high-quality dental fillings to restore your smile and protect your teeth from further decay. Your dentist primarily uses composite fillings. This tooth-colored material is our go-to option for most patients. Here’s why:

  • Natural Appearance – These fillings are tooth-colored. They will blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
  • Minimal Tooth Removal – Composite fillings require less removal of healthy tooth structure.
  • Bonding Strength – They bond much easier to your tooth, providing excellent support.
  • Less Tooth Sensitivity – You will experience less sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures because of this material.

While we prefer composite fillings, there are situations where amalgam (silver) fillings might be recommended. They can work well for large cavities in back teeth or in areas with high bite pressure. Your dentist will review which option is suitable for your dental needs.

Once your filling is in place, your dentist will discuss aftercare instructions. You may need to avoid very hot or cold foods for the first 24 hours. It’s also important to keep up with your regular dental checkups. Not only will this help your dentist keep an eye on your new filling, it also helps you avoid further cavities.
