What to Expect when Getting a Filling
Common Concerns
- Are fillings painful?
Getting a filling is a quick and simple process. With the help of numbing the area, it is also usually painless. - Will fillings affect the look of my teeth?
A filling is made from a tooth-colored composite or resin that is usually the same shade as your natural tooth, this way the filling will go virtually unnoticed.
Coming in for your regular cleanings and check-ups can help avoid the need for fillings and keep your teeth healthy and strong. If you do happen to need a filling, just know that our dentist will be with you every step of the process and will make sure that your teeth are taken care of.
