Restore & Protect Your Teeth
Cavities and minor tooth damage can compromise your oral health, but dental fillings provide a simple, effective solution to restore and strengthen your teeth. Whether you have tooth decay, chips, or worn enamel, a filling can help prevent further damage while maintaining the natural look of your smile.
At Van Orman Dental, we offer high-quality, durable dental fillings tailored to your needs, ensuring both functionality and aesthetics.
What Are Dental Fillings?
A dental filling is a restorative material used to repair a tooth that has been damaged by decay or minor fractures. Fillings restore the tooth’s structure and prevent bacteria from causing further decay.
Types of Dental Fillings
We offer several types of fillings, depending on your specific needs:
Composite (Tooth-Colored) Fillings
- Blends seamlessly with natural teeth
- Ideal for front or visible teeth
- Bonds directly to the tooth for added strength
Amalgam (Silver) Fillings
- Long-lasting and strong
- Best for back teeth (molars) where bite pressure is high
- Cost-effective option
The Dental Filling Procedure
Numbing the Tooth– A local anesthetic is applied to ensure a pain-free experience.
Removing Decay – We carefully remove the decayed portion of the tooth, leaving behind a clean surface.
Placing the Filling – The chosen filling material is applied, shaped, and bonded to restore the tooth’s function.
Polishing & Final Adjustments – The filling is smoothed and adjusted to ensure a comfortable and natural bite.
How to Care for Your Dental Fillings
- Brush & floss daily to prevent further decay
- Avoid chewing hard objects (ice, pens, etc.)
- Limit sugary and acidic foods to protect enamel
- Visit your dentist regularly for check-ups and cleanings
