Dental Fillings
Restoring Teeth, Preserving Smiles
Dental fillings are a trusted restorative treatment used to repair cavities, minor chips, and cracks in your teeth — helping you keep your natural smile intact for years to come.
What Are Dental Fillings?
- Dental fillings repair cavities or minor chips and cracks in your teeth using durable materials.
- Direct fillings (amalgam, composite resin, glass ionomer) are placed in a single visit with no lab work needed.
- Indirect fillings (gold or porcelain inlays/onlays) are crafted in a lab and typically require two appointments.
Benefits of Dental Fillings
- Treats existing tooth decay and stops further damage
- Strengthens and supports weakened teeth
- Preserves your natural tooth structure
- Restores full chewing function and comfort
- Improves the appearance of chipped or cracked teeth
- Long-lasting results — up to 10 to 20 years
How It Works
- Local anesthesia is applied so you stay completely comfortable throughout.
- Damaged or decayed tissue is removed and the cavity is thoroughly cleaned.
- The filling material is placed, hardened with a curing light (for composite), then polished and checked for bite alignment.
