Tooth Filling Services at Springwood Dental Associates

A cavity doesn’t have to compromise your smile. At Springwood Dental Associates, we offer high-quality, natural-looking tooth fillings to restore the health and appearance of your teeth. Whether you're addressing a cavity or repairing minor damage, our team is here to provide expert care in a comfortable setting.

What Are Tooth Fillings?

Fillings are used to restore teeth that have been damaged by decay, cracks, or minor fractures. At Springwood Dental Associates, we use composite resin fillings, also known as tooth-colored fillings, to ensure a seamless and natural look.

Benefits of Composite Resin Fillings

  • Natural Appearance: Matches the color of your teeth for a flawless finish.
  • Durable and Long-Lasting: Designed to withstand daily wear and tear.
  • Preserve Tooth Structure: Requires less removal of natural tooth material compared to traditional fillings.
  • Mercury-Free: A safer and more modern option for dental restorations.

When Do You Need a Filling?

You may need a filling if you experience:

  • Visible holes or dark spots on a tooth.
  • Sensitivity to hot, cold, or sugary foods and drinks.
  • A chipped or fractured tooth.
  • Pain or discomfort when chewing.

Regular dental checkups can help catch cavities early, allowing for quicker and more effective treatment.

The Tooth Filling Process

We make the filling process simple and stress-free:

  1. Diagnosis and Preparation: During your exam, we’ll assess the area and determine the best treatment.
  2. Anesthesia: To ensure your comfort, the area will be numbed before treatment begins.
  3. Decay Removal: The decayed portion of the tooth is carefully removed.
  4. Filling Placement: Composite resin is applied in layers, shaped, and hardened using a special light.
  5. Polishing: The filling is polished for a smooth finish that blends perfectly with your natural tooth.

At Springwood Dental Associates, we combine advanced dental techniques with personalized care to provide the best outcomes for our patients. Our composite resin fillings are not only durable but also aesthetically pleasing, helping you maintain a healthy, confident smile.
