Comprehensive Dental Fillings and Sealants

Restore Your Smile with Tooth Fillings

Cavity fillings repair teeth damaged by decay, restoring their strength and appearance. During the procedure, decay is removed, the area is cleaned, and a filling material is placed to restore the tooth’s natural shape. Tooth fillings are also effective for fixing chipped teeth, gaps, and minor fractures.

Prevent Tooth Decay with Tooth Sealants

Dental sealants provide an extra layer of protection for your teeth. This thin resin coating is applied to the chewing surfaces, bonding to the grooves and sealing them against plaque and bacteria. Sealants are an excellent preventive measure to reduce the risk of cavities, especially for children and teens.

  • How long do dental fillings last?

    The lifespan of a tooth filling depends on the material used and your oral care routine. Silver fillings typically last 10–15 years, while composite fillings may need to be replaced every 5–10 years. Regular dental checkups help monitor and maintain your fillings.

  • What types of fillings are available?

    We offer a range of filling materials, including silver amalgam and composite resin. Composite fillings are tooth-colored and blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, while amalgam fillings are durable and ideal for back teeth. Your dentist will recommend the best option based on your needs.

  • Will I feel pain during a filling procedure?

    Thanks to local anesthesia, most patients experience little to no discomfort during a dental filling procedure. Our team ensures your comfort throughout the process, making it as quick and painless as possible.
