Got a cavity? No worries - we’ve got you covered! Tooth fillings are a quick and effective way to repair decay, restore strength, and keep your smile looking great. Whether you’re dealing with a new cavity or need to replace an old filling, our expert dentists use durable, natural-looking materials to seamlessly restore your tooth’s function and appearance.
Why Do You Need a Filling?
Cavities and minor cracks don’t just go away on their own – in fact, they only get worse! If left untreated, decay can spread deeper into the tooth, leading to sensitivity, pain, or even the need for a root canal. A dental filling restores your tooth’s strength, protects it from further damage, and keeps your smile healthy.What to Expect During Your Filling Appointment?
Getting a filling is a simple, painless process:
- The area is numbed to ensure comfort.
- The decayed portion of the tooth is carefully removed.
- The filling material is applied, shaped, and polished for a seamless fit.
- You leave with a stronger, healthier tooth – good as new!
Signs You May Need a Filling Replacement

- Sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet foods
- Sharp edges or rough texture on the filling

It might be time for a replacement!

To make your filling last and protect your teeth from future decay:
- Brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste.
- Floss daily to prevent plaque build-up.
- Avoid chewing hard foods like ice or hard candies.
- Schedule regular dental check-ups for early detection of issues.

"I had a great experience getting a dental filling at Dental One Clinic. The procedure was quick and straightforward, taking less than 30 minutes. The team made sure I was comfortable the entire time, and the local anesthetic completely numbed the area, so I felt no pain. The dentist was very thorough in explaining the process, and they took extra care to clean the cavity before placing the filling. Afterward, my tooth felt just like new, and the filling was polished to blend perfectly. Overall, a smooth and stress-free experience!"
