Dental Fillings in Dallas

What are Dental Fillings?

Dental fillings are restorative materials used to repair teeth that have been damaged by cavities, fractures, or other forms of tooth decay. Fillings are used to restore the function, shape, and appearance of damaged teeth. The most common materials used for dental fillings are amalgam, composite resin, gold, and porcelain. At White Dental Spa, we use tooth-colored composite resin fillings that blend in with your natural teeth, providing you with a seamless smile.

The Dental Filling Process

Numbing

Before the procedure, a local anesthetic will be administered to numb the tooth and surrounding tissues. This will ensure that you are comfortable and pain-free throughout the procedure.

Removing decay

Our dentist will use a dental drill or laser to remove the decayed part of the tooth.

Cleaning

The cavity will be cleaned thoroughly to remove any remaining debris or bacteria.

Filling

The filling material will be placed in the cavity, shaped, and polished to match the natural shape and color of your tooth.

Finishing

Once the filling is in place, our dentist will check your bite to ensure that everything is comfortable and functional.

Frequently asked questions

Does It Hurt to Get a Filling?

Getting a dental filling is a relatively painless procedure. The dentist will numb the area around the cavity, so you shouldn't feel any pain during the procedure. You may experience some sensitivity or discomfort after the procedure, but this is temporary and can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication. At White Dental Spa, we understand that getting a dental filling may seem daunting, but our friendly and experienced team led by Dr. Tung and Dr. Liu will ensure that you feel comfortable and at ease during the entire process.

How Long Do Dental Fillings Last?

On average, dental fillings can last between 10 to 15 years. However, with proper oral care, they can last up even longer. It's essential to maintain good oral hygiene practices, such as brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and visiting your dentist regularly for check-ups and cleanings.
