Is a dental filling procedure painful?

No! Dental fillings are a simple and straightforward solution for eliminating tooth decay before it becomes more problematic. 

Our dentist uses the best anesthetics to ensure you're numb for the procedure so you won't feel a thing, and we can complete your treatment in one visit. 

The Benefits of Tooth-Colored Fillings

Metal amalgam used to be the material we chose for fillings; however, composite resin has become the choice these days since it provides durability and aesthetics. 

Some of the advantages of composite fillings are:

  • Stability—Unlike metal fillings, they don't react to temperature changes in the mouth and pull away from the tooth. 
  • Preservation—Composite fillings don't require the removal of as much natural tooth structure as metal fillings.
  • Aesthetics—We can customize composite fillings to match your natural tooth so no one will notice your restorations.
  • Durability—Composite resin is bonded directly to the tooth for better durability and less breakdown.
