Why Dental Fillings Are Important

Dental fillings are essential for restoring teeth damaged by cavities, wear, or minor fractures. Left untreated, cavities can progress, leading to more extensive dental work or even tooth loss. At Wang and Cortes Dental, we use high-quality materials to create fillings that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, giving you a long-lasting, beautiful smile.

Types of Dental Fillings We Offer

Our practice provides several types of fillings to meet each patient’s needs, whether you’re looking for durability, aesthetics, or both. We offer:

  • Composite Fillings: These tooth-colored fillings blend naturally with your smile, making them an ideal choice for visible areas.
  • Amalgam Fillings: Known for their durability, amalgam fillings are often used for back teeth where strength is essential.
  • Glass Ionomer Fillings: This option is beneficial for cavities in areas with less chewing force, releasing fluoride to help protect the tooth from future decay.

Our team, including Dr. William Wang, Dr. Lourdes “Millie” Cortes, Dr. Chad Burton, and Dr. Gibson Boswell, will assess your needs and recommend the best type of filling to ensure optimal results.

What to Expect During a Filling Procedure

The dental filling process is straightforward, minimally invasive, and can typically be completed in one visit:

  1. Numbing: To ensure your comfort, we numb the area around the tooth.
  2. Decay Removal: Our team carefully removes the decayed portion of the tooth to prepare it for the filling.
  3. Filling Placement: The filling material is applied in layers, then shaped and polished to match your natural tooth structure.

We prioritize patient comfort and use advanced technology to make the process as efficient and pain-free as possible. For patients with dental anxiety, we also offer Nitrous Oxide to ensure a calm, comfortable experience.
