Dental Fillings: Restore Your Smile
Cavity fillings are a reliable way to restore teeth affected by decay. By carefully removing the decayed portion of the tooth and filling the space with durable materials, we restore the tooth’s shape and function. Tooth fillings can also address issues such as chips, cracks or gaps between teeth, resulting in a healthier and more confident smile.
Dental Sealants: Prevent Tooth Decay
Dental sealants act as a protective barrier for your teeth and can help prevent cavities before they start. A thin resin coating is applied to the grooves of your molars and quickly bonds with the enamel, blocking food particles and bacteria from settling in. Sealants are a simple yet effective way to safeguard your oral health, especially for children and teens.

How do cavity fillings work?
Your dentist will remove decayed tooth material, thoroughly clean the affected area and fill it with a biocompatible material. This process restores the tooth’s shape and functionality while preventing further decay. The result is a tooth that looks and feels natural, allowing you to chew and smile with ease.

What materials are used for cavity fillings?
Cavity fillings are typically made from composite resin, amalgam or ceramic materials. Composite resin, which blends seamlessly with your teeth, is popular for its natural appearance. Each material has unique benefits, and your dentist will recommend the best option for your specific needs.

How long do dental fillings last?
The lifespan of dental fillings depends on the material used and your oral hygiene habits. Composite fillings generally last 5–10 years, while amalgam fillings may last even longer. Regular dental checkups can help monitor your fillings and ensure that they stay in good condition.
