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.
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.
