Enjoy An Attractive Solution That Protects Your Smile

You have two options for filling a cavity at Davenport Dental Group. While fillings are traditionally made of amalgam (a blend of metals), we mostly use composite resin fillings. While metal fillings are strong, they are also conspicuous. Composite fillings, in contrast, can be matched to your other teeth so they blend right in with your natural smile. You won’t have to worry about them tarnishing and darkening!

A cavity is a small area of decay in your tooth. With our intraoral cameras and digital X-rays, we’ll locate cavities and fill them before decay can spread and cause more extensive damage. Without treatment, your tooth might require:

No matter which treatment you receive, we’ll use local anesthesia to numb your mouth so you will hardly feel a thing. If you’d like, you can also receive dental sedation.

Common Questions About Tooth Fillings

We utilize two kinds of dental fillings: amalgam fillings, which are made of a blend of metals, and tooth-colored composite dental fillings. We frequently recommend composite dental fillings because they require us to get rid of less of your natural tooth structure and appear totally natural in your smile.

That depends on which sort of filling you use, where it lies in your mouth, your dental hygiene behaviors, and other factors. Metal dental fillings generally last a lot longer than composite fillings. Therefore, they may be better for hidden areas of your mouth that experience more pressure from eating. With appropriate care, both types of fillings ought to last a minimum of five years.

Dental fillings stop tooth decay from becoming an infection or and help prevent gum disease. Though very uncommon, it’s possible to have an allergic reaction to materials in dental fillings. This may take place in patients with known allergic reactions. Though the small percentage of mercury in amalgam fillings is harmless, you might want to select a composite filling if you have any concerns regarding the lasting side effects of mercury.
