What Are Dental Fillings?

Dental fillings are used to repair teeth that have been damaged by cavities or minor fractures. The filling material is placed in the affected area of the tooth to restore its shape, strength, and function. At Beecher Crossing Dental, we offer both tooth-colored composite fillings and traditional amalgam fillings, depending on your needs and preferences.

Why Do You Need a Dental Filling?

If you have a cavity or a small fracture in your tooth, a filling is necessary to prevent further damage and restore your tooth's integrity. Without treatment, decay can spread, leading to more severe issues such as infections or the need for a root canal.

Our Dental Filling Process

1. Diagnosis and Treatment Planning: During your examination, we will identify the decay or damage that needs to be addressed. We will discuss the best filling material for your specific situation.
2. Removal of Decay: We will gently remove the decayed portion of the tooth, cleaning the area thoroughly to prepare it for the filling.
3. Placement of the Filling: The filling material is carefully placed and shaped to match the natural contours of your tooth. Once in place, it is hardened using a special light (for composite fillings), ensuring a secure and durable bond.
4. Final Adjustments: After the filling is placed, we will make any necessary adjustments to ensure your bite feels comfortable and natural.
