Fillings

What happens if I have a cavity or need a filling? If a cavity or broken tooth is diagnosed the dentist will discuss different filling material options including composite (white plastic), porcelain, or gold. Our dental team will help determine what type of material is best for you and each specific tooth. The dentist will then book an appointment to freeze the tooth, remove the affected area, and place the filling. After your filling is in place, it is important to take care of your new filling. This includes regular brushing and flossing, accompanied with regular cleanings and checkups.

If you have existing fillings it is important to have a dentist regularly check your teeth to make sure that no cracks, leaks, or new decay have formed and that it is still sealing the tooth.
