Dental Fillings
Reliable Dental Fillings for Tooth Restoration
At JFQ Dentistry, we offer an efficient and comfortable path to dental fillings that restore function and ease. Your filling is expertly placed by our dental team to address damage due to decay and prevent future issues. Fillings are a very common procedure, and our team of dental professionals works quickly and accurately to place them when they are needed.
Fillings: What to Expect
When you visit our dental office, our team will evaluate your mouth and look out for the presence of cavities. If we do find any cavities, our dentist may recommend that you get a filling. During the procedure, our dentist will clean out the affected area and then place the filling to restore the look and function of your smile. At JFQ Dentistry, we use composite, tooth-colored fillings so that the aesthetic of your smile remains unchanged. Here’s what you can expect from a filling appointment:
- You will sit in the dental chair with eyewear on for protection.
- Your dentist will inject a local anesthetic to keep you comfortable during the procedure.
- Your dentist will expertly remove the damaged portion of the tooth.
- The prepped tooth will be filled with composite material.
- Your dentist will use a curing light to harden the filling in just 10-60 seconds.
- Your dentist will smooth and polish the filling so that it feels like your natural tooth.
- We will check your bite to ensure that your filling sits naturally.
