Tooth-Colored Fillings

Most patients prefer tooth-colored composite fillings because they blend naturally and restore function.

If a tooth is more weakened or the damaged area is larger, a crown or inlay/onlay may be a better long-term option. We’ll explain the “why” clearly so you can choose with confidence.

Book Online

  1. Evaluate the tooth and confirm the plan

  2. Get you comfortable with numbness as needed

  3. Remove decay or damaged tooth structure

  4. Place, shape, and polish the filling so it feels natural

Most fillings take 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the tooth and the size of the area.

Aftercare: Wait until numbness wears off before chewing. Mild sensitivity can happen for a few days. If your bite feels “high,” call us for a quick adjustment.

Costs And Payment Options

Cost depends on which tooth is involved, how much tooth structure remains, and whether we’re placing a new filling or replacing an older restoration.

You’ll receive a written estimate before treatment begins.
