WE’RE HERE TO HELP YOU
A dental filling is a restorative treatment used to repair teeth damaged by decay, cracks, or wear. The process involves removing the affected part of the tooth and filling the cavity with a durable material, such as composite resin, amalgam, or ceramic. This not only restores the tooth’s function and appearance but also helps prevent further decay and damage. Dental fillings are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, providing a strong, long-lasting solution that keeps your smile healthy and vibrant.
Dental fillings repair cavities and damage, allowing you to chew and bite comfortably and effectively once again.
By sealing the cavity, fillings prevent bacteria from causing additional damage, protecting the tooth from further decay and potential complications.
Modern fillings blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, enhancing the overall look of your smile without compromising aesthetics.
Quality fillings are designed to withstand daily wear and tear, ensuring lasting protection and maintaining the strength of your teeth for years.

Got questions about dental fillings? We have the answers you need.
Dental fillings can be made from various materials, including composite resin, amalgam, gold, and ceramic. Each material has its benefits, and our team will help you choose the best option based on your needs and preferences.
The longevity of dental fillings depends on the material used and your oral hygiene. Composite fillings typically last 5-7 years, while amalgam and gold fillings can last 10-15 years or more with proper care.
The filling procedure is generally not painful. We use local anesthesia to ensure you’re comfortable during the process. You may experience some minor discomfort or sensitivity after the filling, but this usually resolves quickly.
Maintaining good oral hygiene is crucial. Brush twice a day, floss daily, and visit your dentist regularly for check-ups. Avoid chewing hard foods or using your teeth as tools to prolong the life of your filling.
You should consider a dental filling if you have a cavity, tooth decay, or minor damage. Signs that you may need a filling include tooth sensitivity, visible holes or dark spots on your teeth, and pain when chewing.
