About Fillings & Preventive Care
A dental filling restores a tooth damaged by decay back to its normal shape and function. The dentist first removes the decayed material, cleans the area, and fills the cleaned-out cavity with a filling material. Modern tooth-colored composite fillings blend naturally with your teeth and bond directly to the tooth structure. The procedure typically takes 30 to 60 minutes per tooth and is performed with local anesthesia so you remain comfortable throughout. Preventive care, including fluoride treatments and dental sealants, can help reduce the risk of future cavities.
