At Summerbrook Dental, we believe every smile deserves to feel healthy and look its best. Tooth fillings are one of the most common treatments we provide, helping repair teeth that have been damaged by cavities or minor cracks. By restoring the shape and strength of your tooth, fillings protect your smile and prevent problems from getting worse.
Why You Might Need a Filling
When bacteria cause a cavity, the damaged part of the tooth must be removed and replaced with a strong material. Without treatment, the cavity can grow and lead to pain or infection. A tooth filling stops decay, restores function, and helps keep your tooth healthy for years to come.
Benefits of Tooth Fillings
- Stops decay – Prevents the cavity from spreading further.
- Restores strength – Helps you chew and bite comfortably.
- Blends naturally – Tooth-colored materials match your smile.
- Protects your smile – Avoids the need for more complex treatment later.
What to Expect During Treatment
A filling is a quick and simple procedure. First, the damaged part of the tooth is gently cleaned out. Then, a strong tooth-colored material is placed and shaped to restore your natural look. Most fillings can be done in a single visit, and patients find the process easy and comfortable.
At Summerbrook Dental, we make your comfort our priority. If you notice sensitivity, pain, or dark spots on your teeth, it may be time for a filling. Contact our office today to schedule an appointment and let us help protect your smile.
