When decay is caught early, a simple filling is all that's needed to stop it in its tracks. We use durable, tooth-colored composite materials that bond directly to your tooth and blend in seamlessly with your natural smile.
The procedure
After numbing the area, we gently remove the decayed portion of the tooth, clean it thoroughly and fill it with composite resin, which is shaped and hardened with a special light. Most fillings are completed in under an hour.
Replacing old metal fillings
If you have older silver fillings that are worn, cracked or simply unattractive, we can replace them with modern tooth-colored restorations.
