Who Needs a Dental Filling?

If you have a cavity, you might need a dental filling. Cavities are small holes in your teeth caused by decay, and they can bring on discomfort—like sensitivity to hot or cold foods, pain when chewing, or even visible dark spots. Even if you grind or clench your teeth, fillings can help restore their function and appearance.

Dental fillings are designed to be long-lasting and strong enough to handle daily chewing forces. With a variety of options available, we’ll help you choose the right type of filling for your unique needs.

Common Types of Dental Fillings

Fillings are a common and essential solution for treating tooth decay. There are different kinds available, and some are better suited for specific teeth or situations. Let’s take a look at the options:

Tooth-Colored Composite Fillings

Our composite fillings are made from resin, which means they’re customized to blend seamlessly with your natural tooth color. These fillings aren’t just about looks—they’re also more durable than traditional amalgam fillings, lasting up to 10 years. Plus, they’re a great option for anyone who may have allergies, as your body is much less likely to react to composite materials.

The Benefits of Composite Fillings:

Quick and easy treatment—your filling can be done in under an hour!
Less invasive, as we remove less of your natural tooth.
Blends perfectly with your natural teeth, so no one will know it’s there.

Silver Amalgam Fillings

Known for their strength and durability, silver amalgam fillings have been a popular choice for years. These fillings can last a long time without needing to be replaced, making them a practical option for some patients.

Gold Fillings

Gold fillings are made from a high-quality metal alloy and are an excellent choice for restoring teeth affected by decay or infection. They’re extremely durable and can last for many years. Plus, gold fillings are non-toxic and biocompatible, making them a safe choice for anyone concerned about allergies or irritation

Caring for Your Filling

Once you’ve had a filling, it’s important to take care of it to ensure it lasts as long as possible. Here are a few simple tips:

Brush and floss gently twice a day to keep your teeth and fillings clean.
Try to avoid sticky or hard foods that could damage the filling.
Wear a mouthguard during sports to protect your teeth and fillings.
