Fillings

At Stillwater Dental Associates, we use modern, natural-looking composite fillings to restore teeth affected by cavities, chips, or minor damage. Our goal is to maintain your tooth’s health, function, and appearance with a seamless and long-lasting solution.

What Are Tooth-Colored Fillings?

Fillings are used to repair teeth damaged by decay, cracks, or wear. Unlike traditional metal (amalgam) fillings, tooth-colored composite fillings are made from a durable resin material that matches the shade of your natural teeth. This ensures a more aesthetically pleasing and functional result.

Why Choose Composite Fillings?

  • Natural Appearance: Blends seamlessly with your smile for a discreet restoration.
  • Preserves Tooth Structure: Composite fillings bond directly to your tooth, allowing for a more conservative repair.
  • Durability: Designed to withstand daily chewing and wear.
  • Safe and Effective: A biocompatible, mercury-free option for repairing your teeth.

When Are Fillings Needed?

You may need a filling if you experience:

  • Tooth sensitivity when eating or drinking
  • Visible decay or small holes in a tooth
  • Chips, cracks, or worn enamel
  • Pain or discomfort when chewing

During your visit, our providers will examine your teeth and determine if a filling is the best solution to restore your tooth’s health.

What to Expect During the Procedure

  1. Gentle Preparation: The damaged or decayed portion of the tooth is carefully removed.
  2. Tooth Bonding: The area is cleaned, and the composite material is applied and shaped to fit naturally.
  3. Curing & Polishing: The filling is hardened with a special light and polished for a smooth, natural finish.

The process is quick, comfortable, and typically completed in a single visit.
