Dental Fillings

Preserve Your Smile, One Filling at a Time

Dental fillings (or bonding) are restorative procedures that utilize a tooth-colored composite resin to repair and restore teeth that are decayed, chipped, cracked, or discolored. This versatile material is not only used to fill cavities but also to improve the cosmetic appearance of teeth by changing their color or reshaping them.

Question and answer

FAQS About Dental Fillings

Dental bonding is typically used for cosmetic improvements, such as fixing chipped or cracked teeth, closing gaps, and covering discolorations. Fillings are primarily used to restore teeth affected by decay or cavities.
Most procedures are completed within one office visit, typically lasting from 30 to 60 minutes per tooth, depending on the complexity.
These procedures are generally pain-free. Local anesthesia can be used during the filling process to ensure comfort, especially if decay removal is involved.
With proper care, dental bonding and fillings can last from several years to over a decade. The longevity varies based on the material used and your oral hygiene practices.
Maintain good oral hygiene by brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and visiting your dentist regularly. Avoid chewing hard foods or ice to prevent damage.
No, the materials used in bonding and fillings do not respond to whitening treatments. It’s best to whiten your teeth before these procedures to match the color.
Signs that you may need a filling include visible holes in your teeth, tooth sensitivity, or pain when eating. Bonding may be required if you have minor aesthetic concerns like chips, cracks, or gaps.
Composite resin is commonly used for both bonding and fillings due to its durability and the ability to closely match the color of your natural teeth.
Dental fillings are less invasive, more cost-effective, and require less removal of tooth structure compared to veneers or crowns. They are also faster to apply and can often be completed in a single visit.
Fillings are usually covered by dental insurance as they are considered necessary for oral health. Bonding may be covered if it is deemed necessary, not purely cosmetic. Always check with your insurance provider for specifics.
