Cavity Fillings & Tooth Repair
Tooth-colored composite fillings to remove decay, fix food lodgment, and restore your natural tooth.
Catching a cavity early is the simplest, most affordable way to save your tooth. We gently remove the decay and fill the space with a durable, tooth-colored composite resin that bonds directly to your enamel, making it invisible to the naked eye.

How the treatment is done
Clear, straightforward clinical steps with gentle numbing and zero guesswork.
Gentle Decay Removal
We gently remove only the soft, decayed tooth structure, keeping as much healthy natural tooth as possible.
Tooth Preparation & Conditioning
The tooth surface is conditioned with a mild gel so the composite filling forms a strong microscopic bond.
Layering Tooth-Colored Resin
We place composite material matched to your exact tooth shade, sculpting natural tooth grooves.
Blue Light Curing & Polish
A specialized blue curing light hardens the filling in seconds, followed by a smooth polish so your bite feels completely natural.

Common myths vs medical facts
Patients often delay care because of widespread misconceptions. Here is the real clinical truth.
“White tooth-colored fillings are weak and fall out quickly.”
Modern micro-hybrid composites bond tightly to tooth structure and easily withstand normal chewing forces for 7 to 10+ years.
“If a cavity doesn't hurt, it doesn't need to be filled yet.”
Enamel has no nerves, so early cavities don't hurt! By the time a tooth aches, decay has reached the pulp nerve and requires a root canal.
“Fillings take days to dry before you can eat.”
The blue curing light hardens the composite filling in 20 seconds. You can eat immediately after the appointment.

How long does a composite tooth filling last?
With regular brushing and cleanings, high-quality composite fillings last 7 to 10 years or longer.
Will I need an injection for a filling?
Small surface cavities don't even require numbing! For deeper cavities close to the nerve, we apply a gentle numbing gel before giving a painless injection.
Can I replace my old black silver fillings with white ones?
Yes, we frequently replace old, cracked silver amalgam fillings with clean, tooth-colored composite resin for a healthier look.
