Dental Fillings
Fillings serve multiple purposes such as filling in a cavity, filling a cracked /damaged tooth through bonding, as well as seal the tooth when an infection has been removed.
Dental Amalgam
This is a highly durable filling, often lasting a lifetime for some patients. Commonly referred to as “silver” fillings, dental amalgams are a long-used, trusted filling.
Dental Fillings Procedure
Fillings take no longer than an hour to complete. Composite resin fillings generally take a bit longer than other options, but they come with their own set of benefits. Local anesthesia is applied if necessary to numb the area so that you are comfortable throughout.
We will gladly help you decide what filling is recommended based on your needs and budget. For more information on dental fillings, please call our office at (336) 792-9800.
