Fillings

A filling repairs a cavity — the hole decay leaves in a tooth — before it reaches the nerve.

We use tooth-colored composite, not silver. It bonds to the tooth, matches the shade, and doesn't announce itself when you smile.

One visit, usually under an hour for a single tooth. We numb you, clean out the decay, fill the space, shape it to your bite, and cure it. You can eat as soon as the numbness wears off.

Here's the part worth knowing: cavities don't hurt until they're deep. By the time a tooth is sensitive to cold or sweet, the decay is usually well underway. By the time it's throbbing, you're often past a filling and into a root canal or an extraction.

So if we found something on your x-rays and nothing hurts yet, that isn't us drumming up work. That's the cheapest, easiest version of this problem you will ever get.
