Protecting Your Smile with Advanced Dental Fillings
Dental fillings restore teeth damaged by cavities, allowing you to maintain healthy function and prevent further decay. Our fillings are crafted with care, and we offer a variety of materials to suit each patient’s unique needs, including composite and ceramic options for a seamless, natural look.
The Dental Filling Process
Getting a filling at Hendricks Family Dentistry is straightforward and comfortable:
- Assessment and Diagnosis: During your dental exam, we use tools like digital X-rays and intraoral cameras to precisely locate and assess any decay. This ensures we identify issues early and choose the most effective treatment. Learn about our imaging technology.
- Decay Removal: We gently remove the decayed portion of the tooth, preparing it for the filling. Our advanced tools make this process efficient and comfortable for patients of all ages.
- Filling Placement: The filling material is carefully applied to the cavity, shaped, and polished to match the natural contours of your tooth. This provides a smooth, durable finish that blends with your smile.
Types of Dental Fillings We Offer
At Hendricks Family Dentistry, we offer fillings that cater to both function and aesthetics, including:
- Composite Fillings: Made from a tooth-colored resin, composite fillings blend seamlessly with natural teeth, making them ideal for visible areas. Explore our approach to composite fillings.
- Ceramic Inlays and Onlays: For larger cavities, ceramic inlays and onlays provide added durability and can be precisely fitted using digital impressions (iTero). Learn more about inlays and onlays.
- Same-Day Fillings and Crowns: Using CEREC technology, we provide same-day solutions for more extensive restorations, offering efficiency without compromising quality. Discover CEREC same-day options.
Preventing Decay with Routine Dental Care
Prevention is key to minimizing the need for fillings. Regular dental cleanings and exams help maintain optimal oral health by catching decay early. Additional preventive treatments like fluoride applications and dental sealants also provide added protection, especially for children. Read more about our preventive services.
