Dental Restorations (Fillings)

A dental restoration (filling) involves removing decay or damage and replacing it with a strong, tooth-colored material (composite resin). This seals the tooth to prevent further damage and restores both appearance and function.

• Sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweets

• Pain when chewing or biting

• Visible holes, dark spots, or cracks

• Chipped or worn edges

• No symptoms, but identified during your regular dental checkup

Treating cavities early prevents bigger problems like infections, abscesses, and the need for root canals or extractions. Our high-quality restorations help:

​

• Preserve your natural tooth.

• Prevent future decay.

• Eliminate pain and sensitivity.

• Keep your smile strong and functional.

1. Exam & X-rays: We assess the damage and plan your treatment

2. Gentle Numbing: A local anesthetic keeps you completely comfortable

3. Decay Removal: Damaged tooth structure is carefully removed

4. Restoration Placement: Composite resin is shaped, bonded, and polished to match your tooth

​​

The entire process is typically completed in under an hour with little to no downtime.
