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

Do You Need a Dental Filling?

You may need a filling if you’re experiencing:

  • Chipped or worn teeth

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.

Our Patients Say The Nicest Things!

Excellent
Dr Major is a great dentist, I'm glad I found him after being new in town.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the review! Much appreciated!
At 62, I have many years of experience with different dental practices. Autoimmune health leaves my mouth vulnerable and my nerves super sensitive to dental work. For both my husband and me, this office has by far been the most thoughtful, pain-free, and skilled in practice. We would give Comprehensive Dental Care a thousand 5-star reviews if we could. Every person there is a caring professional.
Fantastic office visit with all at comprehensive dental!!!
I had my teeth cleaning wit Jil this afternoon. Jil was very informative in regards to what she was going to be doing and explained why she was doing various things to make my teeth healthier and prettier. I liked her demeanor very much and she was very attentive to my mouth in making sure I was in no pain with each step.
Response from the owner:Thanks for sharing your experience Sharon! It's always great to hear we did a good job! Thanks again!
So professional and the best experience!
