Enjoy An Attractive Solution That Will Keep Your Smile Safe

When it comes to filling a cavity at Davenport Dental Group, you have two choices. While traditional dental filling material is amalgam, we primarily use composite resin fillings. Amalgam (metal) fillings are strong but conspicuous, while composite fillings offer a durable and aesthetically appealing alternative. Because they are tooth colored, they blend right in with your natural smile.

A cavity is a small area of decay in your tooth. We use special technology to locate tiny cavities and fill them before they become larger areas of decay. Without treatment, your tooth might require a larger restoration, like a dental crown. You can also develop a toothache if your cavity grows. To prevent dental pain and more expensive solutions, have a cavity filled while it is still small. You can even request sedation to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.

Common Questions About Tooth Fillings

We use two kinds of fillings: amalgam fillings, which are made of a blend of metals, and tooth-colored composite fillings. We often suggest using composite fillings because they require us to remove less of your natural tooth structure and look completely natural in your smile. However, metal fillings may be better for some situations. We’ll help you determine which one is right for you.

That depends on which kind of filling is used, where it’s located in your mouth, your oral hygiene habits, and other factors. Metal fillings typically last much longer than composite fillings. For this reason, they may be better for hidden areas of your mouth that experience more force from chewing. With proper care, both kinds of fillings should last at least five years.

Fillings prevent problems by keeping dental decay from turning into infection or causing gum disease. Though very rare, it’s possible to have an allergic reaction to materials used in fillings. This typically occurs in patients with known allergies. Though the small amount of mercury in amalgam fillings is safe, you may want to choose a composite filling if you have any concerns about the long-term effects of mercury.
