Have a toothache and think you might need dental filling? No worries — dealing with cavities has been pain-free for decades, so don’t delay your treatment. Cavities only get worse, never better and fillings are a simple and easy way to prevent further decay. A dental filling is a type of tooth restoration that is used to fix minor to moderate tooth damage.

If a tooth has been compromised by decay or has slight fracture or chip, we may suggest a filling. Dental fillings are used to return your smile to good health by restoring the tooth’s original form and function. Amalgam fillings and composite fillings are the two most common types of dental fillings. A single visit to our office is all that is required to place a dental filling. 

The filling material is applied to the area on the affected tooth and shaped to match the form of your tooth. Finally, our dentists harden the filling for a long-lasting restoration. A dental filling may be a good option for restoring your oral health and function if one of your teeth is decayed or broken.If you think you are in need of a dental filling, don’t wait for the issue to worsen! Call our office right away to be seen right away.
