      Dental Fillings

      Restore teeth damaged by decay, cracks, or fractures.

      Dental fillings are a common yet vital dental procedure used to restore teeth damaged by decay, cracks, or fractures. They not only address the issue but also prevent further complications and enhance the aesthetics of your smile. Fillings are a straightforward restorative treatment for both children and adults.

      Types of Dental Fillings

      At Drs. Nicolas & Asp Centers, we offer a variety of dental filling materials
      to best suit your individual needs and aesthetic preferences.

      Composite Resin Fillings

      These tooth-colored fillings are a popular choice due to their natural appearance. They can be precisely matched to the shade of your surrounding teeth, ensuring a seamless blend. They offer good durability and can.withstand moderate pressure from chewing. They can be used on either front or back teeth.

      Porcelain Fillings

      Known for their exceptional durability and resistance to staining, porcelain fillings are ideal for areas that experience significant wear and tear, such as molars. They offer a natural-looking finish and can last for many years with proper care.

      Gold Fillings

      While less common today, gold fillings are renowned for their strength and longevity. They are biocompatible and resist wear and tear exceptionally well. However, due to their metallic appearance, they are primarily used for molars or premolars where aesthetics are less of a concern.

Speak to one of our dentists if you suspect that you have a cavity or tooth fracture.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      What are dental fillings used for?

      Dental fillings are used to restore teeth damaged by decay, cracks, or fractures. They act as a barrier, preventing bacteria from entering the tooth and causing further infection.

      Does it hurt to get dental fillings?

      No. We use local anesthesia to numb the area around the tooth, ensuring a comfortable experience. You may experience some minor discomfort afterwards, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.

      How long does the procedure take?

      The length of a filling procedure depends on the severity of the damage and the location of the tooth. Simple fillings can be completed in as little as 30 minutes, while more complex cases might take longer.

      How long do dental fillings last?

      With proper care, dental fillings can last for several years. The lifespan depends on the type of filling material used, your oral hygiene habits, and your diet.

      What should I expect after getting a filling?

      You may experience some temporary sensitivity, especially to hot or cold foods and drinks. We will provide specific aftercare instructions to ensure the longevity of your filling.

      How can I tell if it’s time to replace my fillings?

      Dental fillings are a great way to restore damaged teeth and prevent future problems. However, they may need to be replaced over time. Signs that a replacement might be needed include chipped or cracked fillings, discoloration, persistent tooth sensitivity, pain around the filled tooth, or a loose filling.
