Cavity Filling Service Near You

Cavity fillings are essential for treating tooth decay and protecting your teeth from further damage. Fillings restore the tooth’s structure and function by sealing the cavity and preventing bacteria from causing more harm. Timely treatment can prevent more complex dental issues, like root canals or crowns, and help maintain overall oral health. Signs you may need a cavity filling include:

Known for its durability, amalgam fillings are cost-effective and long-lasting. They’re commonly used for back teeth, where strength is a priority.

These fillings are highly durable and resistant to staining, making them ideal for larger cavities and those in visible areas.

Gold Fillings

Gold fillings are extremely durable and can last for decades, but they come with a higher cost and are more noticeable.

Our Tooth Filling Procedure Walkthrough

1

Initial Examination and Diagnosis

We begin by thoroughly assessing the cavity, examining its size and location, and discussing the best treatment approach with you. X-rays may be used to check the depth of the cavity and ensure an accurate diagnosis.

2

Numbing

To ensure a pain-free experience, we apply local anesthesia to numb the area around the affected tooth. This guarantees that you remain comfortable throughout the procedure.

3

Decay Removal

Once the area is numb, the decayed portion of the tooth is carefully removed using specialized tools. We make sure the cavity is thoroughly cleaned, leaving no trace of decay behind.

4

Filling Application

After cleaning the cavity, the chosen filling material (composite resin, amalgam, etc.) is applied in layers to restore the tooth. This process ensures a strong bond between the filling and the natural tooth structure.

4

Polishing and Adjustments

Once the filling is in place, we shape and polish it to ensure a smooth, comfortable finish that feels natural. We also check your bite to make any necessary adjustments for optimal comfort and functionality.

How long does a cavity filling take?

Most cavity fillings take between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size, depth, and location of the cavity. Smaller cavities are generally quicker to treat.

No, with local anesthesia, the procedure is pain-free. After the anesthesia wears off, you may experience mild discomfort, which can be easily managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.

Composite fillings typically last 5-10 years with good care, while amalgam and gold fillings can last even longer, up to 15 years or more.

Yes, most insurance plans cover cavity fillings, but the level of coverage may vary depending on the filling material chosen. Be sure to check with your provider for specific details.
