What Are Dental Fillings?
Dental fillings are used to restore areas of a tooth that have been damaged by decay or minor fractures. Once the decayed portion is removed, the remaining tooth structure is cleaned and filled with a durable material—usually a composite resin—that bonds securely to the enamel and seals out future bacteria.
Today’s fillings are not only strong and long-lasting, but also highly aesthetic. We match the material to your natural tooth shade, so the final result is virtually invisible when you speak or smile.
When You Might Need a Filling
Fillings are typically recommended when:
- A cavity has formed in a tooth
- An old or damaged filling needs replacement
- Minor chips or wear are affecting structure or appearance
- You’re experiencing sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweets in a specific tooth
If you notice symptoms like discomfort while chewing, visible dark spots, or sudden sensitivity, we’ll perform a thorough dental exam and digital x-rays to determine if a dental filling is appropriate.
The Procedure: Quick, Comfortable, and Effective
A filling appointment is straightforward and usually completed in under an hour. We begin by numbing the area to ensure your comfort. The decayed or weakened tissue is gently removed, and the tooth is shaped for dental bonding. The composite resin is then layered into the space, sculpted to match your bite, and hardened with a curing light.
After final polishing, your filling is ready to function like a natural part of your tooth—with no downtime required.

How long do dental fillings last?
Composite fillings typically last 7 to 10 years or longer with proper care. Routine checkups help monitor their condition and catch any wear early.
Do fillings hurt?
Most patients report little to no discomfort. We use local anesthetic to numb the area and offer additional comfort techniques when needed.
Can a filling fall out?
Fillings can come loose over time due to wear or pressure, but this is rare with proper maintenance. If a filling becomes dislodged, contact us promptly for evaluation.
What should I avoid after getting a filling?
You can eat as soon as the numbness wears off. Avoid sticky or hard foods for the first 24 hours if the filling is large or deep.
Are silver fillings still used?
We use modern composite materials for most cases, but if you have existing silver (amalgam) fillings, we can evaluate whether they need replacement.
