Dental Fillings: Restore Your Smile
Tooth decay can weaken enamel, which, if left untreated, can lead to discomfort and further damage. Cavity fillings restore affected teeth by removing decay, thoroughly cleaning the area, and sealing the space with a durable material. This process prevents bacteria from causing more harm while preserving the tooth’s natural function.
Tooth fillings also repair chipped, cracked, or worn-down teeth. They help close small gaps and reinforce the structure of a tooth to prevent future fractures. Whether you need a traditional dental filling or a modern composite solution that blends seamlessly with your smile, our team provides customized treatments to restore both the health and aesthetics of your teeth.

What causes cavities?
Cavities develop when plaque buildup leads to enamel erosion. Bacteria feed on sugars in food and produce acids that weaken tooth structure. Poor oral hygiene, frequent snacking, and acidic drinks increase the risk of decay.

How long does an appointment for cavity filling take?
Most cavity fillings take 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the severity of the decay and the type of dental filling used. Larger cavities or multiple fillings may require additional time.

How long do tooth fillings last?
The lifespan of tooth fillings depends on the material used and oral hygiene habits. Composite dental fillings typically last 7-10 years, while amalgam fillings can last over a decade with proper care. Regular checkups help monitor their condition.
