Understanding Dental Fillings
With dental fillings, you can fix teeth that have been broken or decayed. They restore the structure and function of the tooth by filling in cavities and preventing further deterioration. Fillings can also be used to repair cracked or broken teeth, as well as to replace old or damaged fillings.
Comprehensive Evaluation
Before recommending dental fillings, our skilled dentists will conduct a thorough examination of your teeth to assess the extent of the damage. We use digital X-rays and other diagnostic tools to accurately diagnose cavities and determine the most appropriate treatment plan for your needs.
Types of Dental Fillings
- Composite Fillings: Made of tooth-colored resin material, composite fillings blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, providing a discreet and aesthetically pleasing restoration. They are ideal for filling cavities in visible areas of the mouth.
- Amalgam Fillings: Also known as silver fillings, amalgam fillings are made of a combination of metals, including silver, mercury, tin, and copper. They are strong and durable, making them suitable for filling cavities in the back teeth where chewing forces are greater.
- Ceramic Fillings: Ceramic fillings are made of porcelain or other tooth-colored materials that closely resemble natural tooth enamel. They are highly durable and resistant to staining, making them an excellent choice for restoring both front and back teeth.
The Filling Process
- Preparation: Our dentist will numb the area around the affected tooth using local anesthesia to ensure you are comfortable throughout the procedure. The decayed or damaged portion of the tooth will then be removed, leaving a clean and healthy surface for the filling.
- Filling Placement: The chosen filling material will be carefully placed and shaped to restore the tooth’s natural shape and function. For composite fillings, the material is applied in layers and hardened with a special curing light.
- Finishing Touches: Once the filling is in place, our dentist will polish it to smooth out any rough edges and ensure a comfortable fit with your bite. This final step helps to enhance the appearance of the restoration and minimize plaque buildup.

Frequently asked questions
A dental filling is a common dental procedure used to repair a tooth that has been damaged by decay or cavities. During the procedure, the decayed portion of the tooth is removed, and the space is filled with a dental material to restore its shape and function.
Common signs that you may need a dental filling include toothache, sensitivity to hot or cold, visible holes or pits in the teeth, or discomfort when biting down. However, only a dentist can determine if a filling is necessary through a thorough examination and X-rays.
Several materials can be used for dental fillings, including amalgam, composite resin, gold, and porcelain. Each material has its own advantages and is chosen based on factors such as the location of the filling, the extent of decay, and the patient’s preference.
The process of getting a dental filling is typically not painful. Your dentist will use local anesthesia to numb the area before removing the decayed part of the tooth and placing the filling. Some patients may experience slight discomfort or sensitivity after the procedure, but this is usually temporary.
The lifespan of a dental filling depends on factors such as the material used, the size of the filling, and your oral hygiene habits. On average, fillings can last anywhere from 5 to 15 years or more with proper care. Regular dental checkups can help monitor the condition of the filling and ensure its longevity.
