When a cavity is caught early, a filling is usually all that's needed to restore the tooth and stop the decay from spreading. We place tooth-colored composite fillings that bond directly to the tooth and blend in with your natural enamel.
What to expect
- A numbing step so the area is comfortable
- Gentle removal of the decayed area
- Layered placement of a tooth-colored composite
- Bite check and polish
Most single fillings are completed in one visit of about 30–60 minutes.
