When it comes to dental care, one of the most common procedures involves getting dental fillings. At Family & Cosmetic Dentistry, our team is highly experienced in providing these services safely and effectively.
Dental fillings are used to repair minor damage or decay in teeth caused by cavities. The filling material is designed to prevent further destruction of the tooth, and can be made from a variety of materials such as ceramic, composite resin, gold or amalgam. Depending on the severity of your cavity, our team will work with you to determine which type of filling is best suited for you.
In addition to protecting teeth from further decay, fillings also help to restore the appearance and shape of your smile. After receiving a filling, you will be able to chew and talk normally.
If you have cavities, toothache or discolored teeth, our team at Family & Cosmetic Dentistry can help determine if dental fillings are the right solution for your situation. With quick and painless procedures, we strive to provide our patients with relief from any tooth discomfort they may be experiencing.

The duration of a filling’s lifespan will vary depending on the type of filling material and your oral hygiene habits. On average, composite resin fillings can last anywhere from 3-10 years while amalgam fillings have an average lifespan of 8-10 years.
Our team at Family & Cosmetic Dentistry takes all necessary precautions to ensure that our patients experience minimal pain during their dental treatment. Before the procedure starts, we will provide you with local anesthesia to numb the area and ensure your comfort. Once the area is numbed, you should experience little to no discomfort during the filling process.
The coverage of your dental insurance policy will vary depending on your plan and provider, so we recommend consulting with your insurer directly for additional information. At Family & Cosmetic Dentistry, we are proud to accept most major PPO insurance plans, so please reach out to us and we will be happy to help you determine your coverage.
