Dental fillings are used to restore teeth affected by cavities, cracks, or minor fractures, helping to prevent further decay and restore normal function. We remove the decayed or damaged portion of the tooth and replace it with a durable filling material to strengthen and protect your tooth structure.
If you’re experiencing any of the following symptoms, you may need a dental filling:
✅ Tooth sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet foods
✅ Pain or discomfort when chewing
✅ Visible holes or dark spots on a tooth
✅ A chipped or broken tooth
✅ Sharp pain or discomfort when eating sugary foods
Ignoring cavities can lead to more serious dental issues, such as infections or the need for root canal treatment. That’s why early intervention with a filling is essential for preserving your natural teeth.
At Stamford Green Dental, we provide several filling options based on your needs, preferences, and budget:
🔹 Tooth-Colored Composite Fillings – Aesthetic and durable, these fillings blend naturally with your teeth and are an excellent choice for front or back teeth.
🔹 Amalgam (Silver) Fillings – A strong and cost-effective option, often used for molars where strength is a priority.
🔹 Ceramic Fillings – Highly resistant to stains and wear, providing a natural appearance and excellent durability.
Getting a filling is a quick and painless process, usually completed in just one visit:
1️⃣ Examination & Diagnosis – We assess your teeth using digital X-rays and an oral exam to determine if a filling is needed.
2️⃣ Numbing the Area – A local anesthetic ensures your comfort throughout the procedure.
3️⃣ Decay Removal – We carefully remove the decayed or damaged portion of the tooth.
4️⃣ Filling Placement – The selected filling material is applied and shaped to match your natural tooth structure.
5️⃣ Polishing & Bite Adjustment – We smooth and adjust the filling to ensure a comfortable, natural fit.
