A cavity caught early is a small problem. Left alone it becomes a large one. Tooth-colored fillings repair decay quietly and blend in so well that nobody will know which tooth was treated.
Composite fillings are shaded to match the tooth they sit in, so a repaired molar looks like a healthy one rather than a flash of silver. They also bond directly to the tooth structure, which means less healthy enamel has to be removed to hold the filling in place.
Most fillings are completed in a single visit. You are numb before we begin, the decay is removed, the tooth is rebuilt, and you leave with the tooth already back in service.
Decay does not reverse on its own. A cavity treated early usually needs a simple filling - the same tooth left another year may need a crown or root canal instead.

Composite is shaded to your tooth, so the repair disappears into your smile instead of announcing itself.
Because the material bonds to the tooth, less healthy enamel has to be removed to hold it in place.
Most fillings are completed in a single appointment, so a small cavity does not turn into a series of trips.
We confirm the extent of the decay, often with a digital X-ray, and numb the area thoroughly before starting. You should feel pressure but nothing sharp.
The decayed portion is removed and the remaining tooth is cleaned and shaped so the filling has a stable, sound surface to bond to.
Composite is layered into the tooth, hardened, then shaped and polished so it matches the contour of the tooth and your bite feels natural when you close.
Decay keeps advancing. Once it reaches the nerve at the center of the tooth, a filling is no longer enough and the options narrow to root canal treatment or removal. Treating early is almost always the cheaper and simpler path.
Often, yes. Older amalgam fillings can be replaced with composite, and it is a reasonable option if a filling is failing, leaking or you dislike how it looks. If an existing filling is sound we will usually recommend leaving it alone rather than replacing healthy work.
That depends on the size of the filling, where it sits in your mouth and how much force it takes when you chew. A well-placed composite filling in a well-maintained mouth lasts many years, and we check the margins at every routine visit.
The tooth is numbed before anything begins, so during the procedure you should feel pressure and vibration rather than pain. Some sensitivity to hot and cold for a few days afterwards is normal and usually settles on its own.
A single filling typically takes under an hour from numbing to polishing. If several teeth need attention we can often treat more than one in the same visit, which saves you a second appointment.
