What Are Dental Fillings?
Dental fillings are restorations used to repair teeth that have been damaged by decay, fractures, or minor wear. At AmeriDental, we use safe, durable composite materials that blend naturally with your smile—providing a seamless, mercury-free solution for cavities.
When Are Fillings Needed?
- Visible cavities or small holes in the enamel
- Tooth sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweets
- Fractured or chipped teeth
- Old metal fillings that need replacement
- Cosmetic reshaping of misshapen teeth
Our Dental Filling Procedure
What to Expect
- Examination: We identify areas of decay using digital x-rays and visual inspection.
- Numbing: Local anesthesia ensures your comfort throughout the procedure.
- Decay Removal: Damaged areas are gently cleaned and prepped.
- Tooth-Colored Filling: Composite resin is applied, shaped, and cured with a special light.
- Polishing: The tooth is smoothed and adjusted for bite alignment.
Why We Use Composite Fillings
- Natural Appearance: Matches your tooth shade for invisible restoration
- Mercury-Free: Safe alternative to traditional silver amalgam
- Bonded Strength: Adheres securely to natural enamel
- Minimally Invasive: Preserves more healthy tooth structure
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: How long do fillings last?
A: Composite fillings can last 7–15 years or longer with good oral hygiene and routine checkups.
Q: Are white fillings safe?
A: Yes. AmeriDental only uses biocompatible, mercury-free materials for our restorations.
Q: Will it hurt?
A: You’ll be fully numb during the procedure. Most patients feel little to no discomfort.
Q: Can I eat right away?
A: It’s best to wait until the numbness wears off. Avoid sticky or hard foods for 24 hours.
Q: Is a filling better than a crown?
A: Fillings are ideal for smaller cavities. For larger structural damage, we may recommend a dental crown instead.
