About Our Dental Fillings

There are advantages to every type of material we offer. Composite matches the color of natural teeth, so no one sees it and it's less invasive since it doesn't need as much drilling. Silver lasts long and can handle the strain of chewing, so it's particularly well-suited for the back of your mouth. Gold never corrodes and can handle pressure. We've combined ours with other metals to keep it serving you well for a long time.

White dental fillings bring benefits too. They can repair chipped teeth, close gaps between them, and make them look straight and even. We give patients the kind of material that not only blends in with their teeth but also improves them. You can't go wrong with choosing fillings when you get them from us.

The Details of Dental Fillings

Decay starts inside the tooth, and fillings serve to slow it down or stop it completely to save your enamel. We remove the part that's decayed or damaged, clean the tooth to rid it of any trace, and then fill it with material and harden the filling. There's no need for you to change your diet and virtually no recovery process; you get right back to your routine when it's over.

We always check for cavities and inspect previous fillings during exams to prevent any pain before it happens. However, the best way to avoid the need for these procedures is to take care of your teeth. Brush and floss twice a day and keep up with your dental cleanings, and you'll be far less likely to require dental fillings.
