What are Dental Fillings?
Dental fillings are used to treat cavities or repair damage to the tooth structure caused by tooth decay, chipped teeth or cracked teeth. A dentist removes the decayed part of the tooth and fills the space with a special material to restore its shape and function. This stops the spread of bacteria and protects the tooth from further damage. Fillings are a common procedure and can be made from several different materials including composite resin, porcelain, silver amalgam fillings and gold fillings. Whether it’s a baby tooth or an adult tooth getting a cavity filled can make a big difference in your oral health.Benefits of Dental Fillings
Dental fillings restore your tooth and keep your smile healthy. They stop decay from spreading and bring back the strength of your tooth. Fillings also prevent tooth sensitivity and make chewing easier. Most importantly they let you keep your natural teeth longer. At Smilestone Dental we offer aesthetically pleasing natural looking options like white fillings and composite fillings.
Top 5 Benefits of Dental Fillings:
- Prevent Further Decay
Fillings seal off the area of decay keeping bacteria out. This prevents further damage to your natural tooth and surrounding teeth. Early treatment can avoid more serious procedures like root canals or dental crowns. - Restore Tooth Function
Once the filling material is in place you can chew, bite and smile again. Fillings repair cavities and restore the original function of your tooth. This makes it easier to enjoy everyday activities like eating and speaking. - Relieve Pain and Sensitivity
Cavities can cause tooth sensitivity and pain especially when eating hot, cold or sugary foods. A filling protects the tooth’s nerves and stops the discomfort. Many patients feel immediate relief after the dental filling procedure. - Natural Looking Appearance
Composite fillings and tooth colored fillings blend in perfectly with your natural teeth. They are great for front or back teeth and are barely noticeable. With modern dentistry you don’t have to sacrifice looks for health. - Durability and Long Lasting Results
Fillings made from materials like porcelain, gold or composite resin are durable and can last for many years. They protect your existing teeth and maintain your bite and tooth structure. Regular exams and good oral hygiene will keep them in top shape.

Our dentists perform a thorough exam of your mouth looking for warning signs of cavities, tooth damage or dental decay. We may use X-rays to get a clearer view of the affected tooth. Once diagnosed, we recommend the most appropriate treatment option for your needs.
Numbing the Area
To keep you comfortable we apply a local anesthetic to numb the area around the tooth. This prevents any pain during the procedure. Most patients feel little to no discomfort while the dentist works.
Removing the Decayed Part
Using special dental tools the dentist removes the decayed part of the tooth. This step is important to stop the spread of bacteria and protect the healthy part of the tooth. The area is then cleaned and prepared for the filling.
Filling the Cavity
The cavity is filled with your chosen filling material, composite resin, gold fillings, silver fillings or porcelain fillings. We shape the material to match your tooth’s structure and bite. A special light may be used to harden the filling.
Polishing and Final Check
Once the filling is in place the dentist polishes the tooth and checks your bite. We make sure the filling feels comfortable and looks natural. Your appointment ends with helpful tips to keep your smile healthy.
