We understand that a damaged tooth can cause discomfort and make you feel self-conscious. Whether it’s a cavity, a chip, or a crack, our dentists at Gentle Dentistry are here to help you regain your confident smile with natural-looking dental fillings.

What are Dental Fillings?

Dental fillings are a common and effective way to restore teeth that have been affected by decay or minor damage. They’re made from a variety of materials, most typically a composite resin or porcelain, and are carefully matched to the color of your surrounding natural teeth for a seamless look.

How Dental Fillings Work

  • Preparation: Our friendly dentists will gently remove any decayed or damaged portions of your tooth and clean the area thoroughly, giving us a great foundation to build upon.

  • Filling: The chosen filling material is then carefully placed and shaped to restore the natural contours of your tooth.

  • Curing: If necessary, a special light is used to harden the filling material, ensuring its durability and longevity.

Benefits of Dental Fillings

  • Restored Function: Fillings allow you to chew your favorite foods without any pain or discomfort and speak comfortably again.

  • Enhanced Aesthetics: They blend seamlessly with your surrounding natural teeth, improving your smile’s appearance without any unsightly changes.

  • Long-lasting Protection: With proper care, fillings can last for many years, protecting your tooth from further damage.

A Comfortable and Convenient Experience

At Gentle Dentistry, we strive to make your dental experience as comfortable as possible. Our skilled dentists use the latest techniques and technologies to ensure that your filling procedure is quick, painless, and efficient. In most cases, the entire process can be completed in a single visit!
