Restorative Dentistry
Dental Fillings
At Agape Dental Studio, we use high-quality dental fillings to repair cavities and minor tooth damage. Dr. Tekle carefully matches the color of your filling to your natural teeth so your restoration blends in seamlessly.
Composite fillings blend beautifully with your natural teeth for a seamless, natural-looking restoration.
For back teeth that handle heavy chewing, amalgam fillings provide exceptional strength and longevity.
Most fillings are placed in one comfortable appointment, restoring your tooth's shape and strength the same day.
By removing the decayed portion and sealing the tooth, a filling prevents cavities from growing larger and causing more damage.
Fillings are a conservative treatment that restores function while preserving as much of your natural tooth as possible.
We use gentle numbing techniques so you'll be comfortable throughout the entire procedure.
How do I know if I need a filling?
You may need a filling if you have a cavity, tooth sensitivity, visible holes or dark spots on a tooth, or pain when chewing. Dr. Tekle will identify the need during your exam.
Do tooth-colored fillings last as long as silver ones?
Modern composite fillings are very durable and can last many years with proper care. For teeth under heavy chewing forces, we'll recommend the best material for your specific situation.
Will I feel anything during the procedure?
We use local anesthesia to ensure you're comfortable. You may feel slight pressure but should not experience pain during the filling placement.
How should I care for a new filling?
Care for filled teeth just like your natural teeth — brush twice daily, floss regularly, and keep up with dental visits. Avoid chewing very hard items on new fillings for the first 24 hours.
