Dental Fillings

Restore your tooth’s structure and health with precise, durable fillings—comfortable and tailored for long-term protection.

The Process

After numbing the area, your dentist removes decay and microorganisms, cleans the cavity, places the filling material, and polishes the surface for a natural fit. Entire treatment is typically completed in a single visit.

The Results

You’ll leave with a smooth, fully functional tooth that blends with your natural enamel—filled to feel like your own. Properly cared-for fillings can last many years, as long as they are smaller than 40-50% of healthy tooth structure.

Care Tips After a Filling

  • Brush gently around the filled area

  • Use recommended tooth paste, follow oral hygiene instructions

  • Avoid very hard or sticky foods initially

  • Contact us if your bite feels off or if sharp edges are present
