Repair Cavities with Strong, Natural-Looking Tooth Fillings

Doctor Maggie Ernst on tooth fillings

On the scale of dentistry, I like to say a small cavity can be repaired with a small filling. So a cavity is when bacteria has gotten in and damaged a piece of that tooth. So we'll go in and we'll clean out that cavity, we'll clean out that damaged tooth structure, and we'll use a filling material to replace that hole, if you will.
We sort of clean out the bruise of that apple and then restore it with that filling material so it's completely healed. We always use tooth colored fillings in our office. We no longer use the silver fillings that are from the past.
And so we always do take the time with our patients to make sure that we're using a colored material that matches their teeth. Our ideal is to have it not even noticeable when looking in your mouth.

Frequently Asked Questions About Tooth Fillings

What are white tooth fillings made of?

White tooth fillings are made of composite resin, a blend of ceramic and plastic. Unlike amalgam fillings, which are made of a blend of metals, they can be matched to the color of your other teeth so they aren't noticeable in your smile. They also cause fewer allergy issues than amalgam.

When do tooth fillings need to be replaced?

After your dentist places your new filling, you should expect it to last for several years without any problems. Composite fillings last an average of about five to seven years, although other factors do come into play, including which tooth has the filling and the types of foods you eat.

Are tooth fillings painful?

Getting a tooth filled does not have to be a painful experience. Your dentist and staff will make sure that your procedure goes smoothly and is comfortable. In many cases, we can use drill-free air abrasion technology to repair your tooth. We'll also use a local anesthetic to ensure that the area around the tooth is completely numb. Plus, we offer two relaxing forms of sedation if you need a little extra help getting comfortable.
