Dental Fillings in Midvale
Fillings are used to treat holes, or cavities in teeth. This procedure prevents decay from spreading and helps fortify and strengthen the tooth. They also look very natural.

What to Expect when Getting a Filling
When you come to our office for a filling, we’ll make sure you are extra comfortable. You can even have a blanket if you’d like, not to mention laughing gas (nitrous oxide) if needed. The decayed or damaged portion of your tooth will be cleaned out, and a beautiful tooth colored restorative material will be placed. The whole appointment usually takes an hour or less.
Common Concerns
- Are fillings painful?
Getting a filling is usually a quick and simple process. Anesthetic will be used to keep you comfortable during the procedure. - Will fillings affect the look of my teeth?
A filling is made from a tooth-colored composite resin that is usually the same shade as your natural tooth. This way, the filling will go virtually unnoticed.
Coming in for your regular cleanings and check-ups can help avoid the need for fillings and keep your teeth healthy and strong. If you do happen to need a filling, just know that our dentists will be with you every step of the process and will make sure that your teeth are taken care of.
