What Is a Dental Filling?

A dental filling is used to restore a tooth that has been damaged by decay, a crack or a fracture. During the procedure, your dentist removes the damaged portion of the tooth and fills it with a material that restores its shape and function.

Tooth-Colored Composite Fillings

We use tooth-colored composite resin fillings that blend naturally with your existing teeth. Unlike old silver amalgam fillings, composite fillings bond directly to the tooth structure, which means less drilling and a stronger result. Most patients cannot tell the difference between their filling and their natural tooth.

How Long Do Dental Fillings Last?

With proper care, tooth-colored composite fillings can last 10 years or more. Brushing twice a day, flossing daily and coming in for regular checkups will help extend the life of your filling. If a filling becomes worn or cracked, we can replace it quickly — often the same day.
