Cavity Fillings & Dental Sealants
Cavities and tooth decay can compromise your dental health, but with modern tooth fillings and dental sealants, we can protect and restore your teeth. Whether you're looking to treat a cavity or prevent future decay, our filling and sealant services offer a durable solution.
Protect Your Smile with Dental Fillings and Sealants
Dental fillings are an effective way to repair teeth affected by cavities, decay, or damage. We use composite fillings that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, offering a discreet and strong option to restore and protect your smile. For added prevention, dental sealants are applied to the chewing surfaces of your teeth, especially molars, to shield against cavity formation. These treatments work together to ensure long-lasting oral health by both treating and preventing decay.

How do I take care of my dental filling?
Taking care of a dental filling is simple and essential to ensure its longevity. After getting a filling, avoid chewing on hard or sticky foods for the first 24 hours, especially if it’s a composite filling. Continue brushing and flossing regularly, paying close attention to the area around the filling to prevent decay from developing around it. It’s also important to avoid habits like grinding your teeth or biting on hard objects, as these can damage the filling. Regular dental checkups will allow your dentist to monitor the condition of your filling and address any issues early.

How long do fillings last?
Composite fillings are designed to last many years, depending on your oral hygiene and regular dental care. With proper maintenance, a tooth filling can provide protection for a decade or more. However, regular checkups are essential to ensure the integrity of your dental fillings over time.

What is the best way to treat cavities?
The best way to treat cavity decay is to catch it early with a dental checkup. Once diagnosed, we can clean out the decay and fill the cavity with a composite filling. In addition to fillings, dental sealants offer an extra layer of defense against future cavities, particularly for children and teens.
