Do Cosmetic Dentists Fill Cavities?
By Dr. Eastwood – Summerbrook Dental & Implants, Fort Worth, TX
Yes — cosmetic dentists do fill cavities, and we often do it with an added focus on how your smile looks afterward. While filling a cavity is technically a restorative dental procedure, many cosmetic dentists are trained to do both cosmetic and general dentistry, so they can restore the health of your tooth while also making sure it looks as natural and beautiful as possible.
At Summerbrook Dental & Implants, we use tooth-colored composite fillings instead of silver ones. These materials are carefully matched to your natural tooth color, so the filling blends in seamlessly. Not only do they fix the damage caused by decay, but they also keep your smile looking clean and uniform.
Filling a cavity is about more than just fixing a hole — it’s about protecting your tooth, stopping pain, and preventing the problem from getting worse. Whether it’s a small filling or a larger restoration, our goal is always to make the tooth strong, healthy, and natural-looking.
As a dentist with advanced training in cosmetic procedures, I take extra care in shaping and polishing each filling so it fits your bite comfortably and looks completely natural — even if it’s a back tooth no one else will see.
And of course, we do all of this in a no-judgment office. Whether it’s your first cavity or your tenth, we’re here to help you feel comfortable, respected, and confident in your care.
So yes, cosmetic dentists do fill cavities — and when done right, you might not even be able to tell which tooth was treated.
