At White Flint Dental Associates, we prioritize your comfort and dental health. Utilizing state-of-the-art technology, our dental fillings process is streamlined for efficiency. After removing decay, we carefully apply a filling that blends seamlessly with your tooth's color, ensuring strength and longevity. Experience a smoother, quicker path to a healthier smile with us.
A dental filling is a restorative treatment used to repair minor to moderate tooth damage, such as cavities. By filling the area where decay was removed, it restores the tooth's integrity.
Our advanced composite materials are skillfully shaped to match the contours of your tooth, hardening quickly under a special light. This creates a durable, virtually invisible repair.
Ideal for treating cavities and minor fractures, dental fillings stop decay in its tracks and prevent further damage, while flawlessly restoring the tooth's appearance and function.
Our fillings not only halt decay but also restore full function to your affected tooth. They blend indistinguishably with your natural teeth, enhancing both health and aesthetics.
Anyone with a cavity, minor tooth decay, or small fractures is a good candidate. If you're experiencing toothache or sensitivity, our dental fillings might be the perfect solution.
The lifespan of a dental filling depends largely on the material used and the individual's oral hygiene practices. Typically, the fillings we provide can last for many years with proper care and regular dental check-ups.
While dental fillings restore the damaged part of the tooth and stop current decay, they do not prevent future cavities on other parts of the tooth or other teeth. Maintaining good oral hygiene and regular dental visits are crucial for preventing new cavities.
Our skilled dental team employs the latest techniques and technologies to ensure the comfort of our patients. Most people find that getting a filling is a relatively pain-free experience, thanks in part to local anesthesia used during the procedure.
After receiving a dental filling, it's essential to follow good oral hygiene practices, including brushing twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, flossing daily, and avoiding hard or sticky foods for a short period after the filling is placed. Also, continuing with regular dental check-ups and cleanings is vital for maintaining the health and longevity of your fillings.
