Dental Fillings
Dental fillings are essential for restoring teeth affected by decay or damage. At our practice, we offer tooth-colored composite fillings that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, providing both durability and aesthetic appeal. Our skilled dentists carefully remove the decayed portion of the tooth, clean the area, and fill it with composite material that bonds directly to the tooth. This not only strengthens the tooth but also prevents further decay. We prioritize patient comfort throughout the procedure, ensuring a positive dental experience. Trust our expertise to restore your smile with an effective and long-lasting dental filling.

Frequently Asked Questions
Composite fillings typically last 7-10 years or longer with proper care, though their lifespan can vary based on factors like oral hygiene and biting force.
Tooth-colored composite fillings offer aesthetic benefits by blending with natural teeth and require less removal of healthy tooth structure compared to silver amalgam fillings.
During the filling procedure, your dentist will numb the area to minimize discomfort. Some patients may experience sensitivity or mild discomfort afterward, which usually subsides quickly.
While rare, dental fillings can loosen or fall out over time due to wear and tear or new decay around the filling. Regular dental check-ups help monitor fillings for signs of wear or damage.
