Fillings

General

Fillings that keep more of your tooth

Overview

Tooth-colored, minimally invasive

A filling repairs a tooth after decay is removed. We take out only what has to go, then rebuild the tooth with a bonded composite matched to the surrounding enamel, so the repair is not the first thing you see.

Caught early, a filling is a short appointment. Left alone, the same tooth often ends up needing a crown or root canal treatment instead, which is the entire argument for regular exams.

Your bite is checked before you leave, because a filling that sits high is a filling you will feel all week.

Who it is for

Candidacy is confirmed in person, not online.


  • Decay has been found at your exam.


  • A tooth is sensitive to cold or sweet things.


  • An old filling has cracked, worn, or started to leak.


  • You want the repair matched to your tooth rather than done in metal.

What to expect

The sequence, start to finish.

  1. 01

    Diagnosis

    The decay is identified at the exam, with imaging where it is needed.

  2. 02

    Anesthesia and removal

    The area is numbed and the decay is removed conservatively.

  3. 03

    Restoration

    The tooth is rebuilt with bonded composite, shaped to the original contour.

  4. 04

    Bite check and polish

    The filling is adjusted against your bite and polished before you leave.

Questions

What patients ask us first.

The tooth is anesthetized first, so the appointment itself is generally comfortable.

Your next appointment starts a longer relationship.

One call is enough to start. We will find a time, verify your benefits, and take it from there.
