When Is a Dental Filling Needed?
A dental filling restores a tooth that has been damaged by decay or minor fractures. We recommend a filling when:
- You have a visible cavity or sensitivity to sweets or temperature
- X-rays reveal decay beneath the enamel surface
- A previous filling is worn down or broken
- You’ve chipped a tooth and need a small repair
We check for these issues during every dental exam and cleaning, allowing us to catch decay early — before it becomes a larger issue requiring root canal therapy or even tooth extraction.
What to Expect During the Filling Procedure
Getting a filling at Pearl Dental Group is a straightforward, comfortable experience:
- We numb the area to ensure you don’t feel any discomfort.
- Decayed or damaged portions of the tooth are gently removed.
- We apply a tooth-colored composite resin and shape it to match your tooth.
- The filling is hardened with a special curing light and polished for a natural finish.
The process usually takes under an hour and allows you to return to normal activities right away.
Composite Fillings: Functional and Aesthetic
We use composite resin materials for most fillings due to their strength, safety, and appearance. These fillings:
- Match your natural tooth color
- Bond directly to the tooth structure, preserving more of the healthy tooth
- Contain no metal or mercury
- Provide excellent durability for both front and back teeth
If you have older metal fillings, we also offer safe replacement options as part of a smile makeover or restorative plan.
