Dental Fillings in Henderson, NV

Restore Your Smile with Natural-Looking Dental Fillings

Cavities are common, but that doesn’t mean they have to leave a lasting impact on your smile. At Comprehensive Dental Care in Henderson, NV, we offer tooth-colored dental fillings that restore the health and appearance of your teeth with precision and care.

Whether you’re dealing with new decay or replacing old metal fillings, our custom-shaded composite fillings are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth while providing long-lasting protection.

What Are Dental Fillings?

Dental fillings are restorative materials used to repair teeth affected by cavities or minor fractures. Fillings stop the progression of decay, restore your tooth’s structure, and protect it from further damage.

At Comprehensive Dental Care, we use composite resin fillings that are safe, durable, and designed to match your natural tooth color. The process is quick, comfortable, and highly effective at restoring function and preventing future complications.

How It Works:

  • The decayed portion of the tooth is removed
  • The area is thoroughly cleaned and prepped
  • Composite resin is applied in layers and shaped to fit your bite
  • A special curing light hardens the material
  • The final result is polished for a smooth, natural finish

Why Choose Dental Fillings?

Dental fillings are one of the most common and important treatments in modern dentistry. Here are some of the key benefits:

Natural Appearance

Tooth-colored composite resin blends in with your natural teeth

Durable and Long-Lasting

With proper care, fillings can last for many years

Minimally Invasive

Preserves more of your natural tooth structure compared to older methods

Quick and Comfortable

Most fillings are completed in a single visit with minimal discomfort

Protects Your Oral Health

Prevents further decay and the need for more extensive treatments

Improves Function

Restores chewing ability and strengthens damaged teeth for everyday use

Do You Need a Dental Filling?

You may need a filling if you’re experiencing:

  • Tooth sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweets
  • Visible holes or dark spots on your teeth
  • Tooth pain or discomfort when chewing
  • Chipped or worn teeth

If you already have fillings and notice these symptoms, they may need replacement. See our filling replacement guide for more information. The earlier cavities are detected, the easier they are to treat. If you notice any of these signs or are due for a checkup, don’t wait. Our experienced team will evaluate your smile and recommend the best course of treatment.

FAQs About Dental Fillings

Most patients report little to no pain during the filling procedure. We use local anesthesia to numb the area, ensuring a comfortable experience. You may feel mild pressure, but it should not be painful.
If a cavity is still in the early stage of enamel erosion, fluoride treatments and improved oral hygiene may help reverse it. However, once a cavity forms, a filling is the only effective treatment.
Most fillings can be completed in a single appointment lasting about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size and location of the cavity.
Common types include composite (tooth-colored) fillings, amalgam (silver) fillings, gold fillings, and ceramic or porcelain inlays. We primarily use composite fillings for their durability and natural appearance.
Composite fillings are made from a mixture of plastic resin and fine glass particles. Other types of fillings may be made from metals like silver or gold, or ceramic materials depending on your needs and preferences.

Dr. Kevin Major, and all of the office staff here, and assistants are absolutely incredible. From Karina, to Lani to my dental hygienist. Just WOW. They are beyond incredible for their patient care and dedication. From the moment I first called, I was on the phone with the receptionist for nearly 30 minutes. How about that for patient dedication?!! Empathy like that, is hard to come by, genuinely. It cannot be taught. She listened to my concerns and plea for help for finding the right dentist for me. She assured me I would be in good hands and well taken care of by Dr. Kevin Major. A name I had heard flung around left and right. I was intrigued and so invested. I did so much research on my dentist, and the practice itself. They got the green light from me. Now it was time to go to my first appointment. They made sure I was comfortable, heard, and taken care of. I even got my teeth professionally cleaned, and am in the process of getting all my cavities filled to go onto my orthodontics journey. From start to finish, from my consultation to the cleaning itself. I knew I had found the right dental office and dentist. This entire time, I had been searching and it was right around the corner from where I live. Dr. Major showed me all of my teeth issues, and walked me through the entire treatment plan. For once in my life, my dentist listened to me. Enthusiastic at his craft, and true passion for what he does. Proper bedside manner, and a true blessing to find a dentist that truly cares this much about your teeth health and smile as much as you do. When I say that you can genuinely tell the “good” dentists from the “bad” ones. Dr. Major is one of the good ones!! I was so frustrated with the previous dental office I saw, and how unwelcoming, rude, and money hungry they were. Horrible, terrible practices with horrible bedside manner. I felt like a walking bank, was treated as such, and not truly cared for and listened to. Going to the dentist should NOT be like this. If you are searching around for a new dentist and dental clinic… and one that will truly care and listen to your wants, needs, and concerns. You have NOW found the right place. Dr. Kevin Major is an expert in his craft, and he will educate you from start to finish. Listen to you, and make sure that you are happy with your smile. He will listen to your concerns. He will walk you through treatment, and answer all questions you may have. He gave me what most dentists I saw before him never gave me, and that is TIME. Dr. Major is the only dentist I will ever see for my teeth health and treatments. I’ll never go anywhere else. Comprehensive Dental Care, and all the staff, from Karina, to Lani, all the dental assistants, to all the hygienists and the rest of the staff at the front desk. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart for always making me feel like family. I love the good office and staff vibes always! Thanks to the front office staff for setting a good tone for the entire practice! Whoever I first spoke to initially, I don’t remember your name but thank you for your kindness! You’ve made me a patient for life! Thank you Dr. Major for taking care of me and always making dental visits, comfortable and most of all, FUNNY! See everyone next week!!
