Dental fillings
A filling restores a tooth after decay is removed and helps prevent the problem from growing. Most fillings are completed in a single visit and are a simple way to keep your smile healthy. We explain each step beforehand and make sure nothing feels rushed or unclear.
Our goal is to help you understand what’s happening and how the filling supports your tooth long term — so you leave feeling confident about the outcome.
Why fillings matter
Decay doesn’t reverse on its own. When we remove it early, the treatment is more comfortable and much more predictable. A filling seals and protects the area, preventing bacteria from entering and helping you avoid deeper concerns later on.
What to expect
We begin by reviewing the area and sharing what we see. The tooth is numbed, decay is gently removed, and the space is filled and shaped for a natural feel. We check your bite before you leave and discuss any simple steps to support healing.
If your plan covers fillings under CDCP, we’ll explain your benefits, review any costs, and help you make the most of your coverage.
We offer direct billing and clear cost explanations. If you need options, we can outline several approaches to help you choose what fits comfortably.
