We are proud to offer comprehensive dental care, including routine cleanings, cosmetic dentistry, and restorative procedures like teeth fillings. Our goal is to make every visit to Meyer Family Dental a comfortable and stress-free experience. On this page, we will discuss in detail our teeth-filling services and how they can benefit you.

Teeth fillings are one of the most common restorative dental procedures that serve to repair and preserve damaged teeth. They are usually recommended when a tooth is affected by cavities, cracks, chips, or even wear and tear. Fillings help to restore the tooth's structure, function, and appearance, making it possible for you to chew, speak, and smile with confidence.

Cavities, also known as dental caries, are holes or openings in the enamel and dentin layers of a tooth. They are caused by bacteria in plaque that feeds on the sugars and starches we consume. If not treated promptly, cavities can lead to severe pain, infection, and tooth loss. Luckily, teeth fillings provide an effective solution to rid your mouth of cavities and prevent further damage.

Some of the signs that you may need a tooth filling include tooth sensitivity, pain, visible discoloration, or roughness on the tooth surface. If you experience any of these symptoms, we recommend scheduling an appointment with our dentists for a thorough examination. Our team will assess the condition of your teeth and gums and recommend the most suitable treatment plan for your specific case.

At Meyer Family Dental, our team is committed to making your experience as comfortable and painless as possible. Our dentists use state-of-the-art equipment and techniques to ensure fast, efficient, and precise treatments. The teeth-filling process is relatively simple and can usually be completed within one visit to our office.

The first step is to administer local anesthesia to numb the affected area. This helps to prevent any pain or discomfort during the procedure. Next, our dentist will use a drill or laser to remove the decayed portion of the tooth and clean the affected area of bacteria and debris. Once the tooth is cleaned, the filling material is applied in layers, shaped, and hardened using a special light.

After the filling is completed, our dentist will check your bite to ensure it is comfortable and may make some minor adjustments if necessary. If you have chosen a composite filling, our dentist will also finish and polish it to match the texture and shine of your natural teeth. You will be advised on how to care for your filled tooth, and we recommend scheduling a follow-up appointment to monitor the healing process.

Taking good care of your teeth fillings is essential in maintaining their longevity and preventing any potential problems. Some tips for maintaining your teeth fillings include:

• Brushing your teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste.
• Flossing daily to remove plaque and food debris from between your teeth and fillings.
• Limiting your intake of acidic and sugary foods and drinks.
• Visiting your dentist regularly for professional cleanings and check-ups.
• Avoid using your teeth to open bottles or crack nuts.
• Quitting smoking as it can cause staining, discoloration, and damage to your fillings.
  

At Meyer Family Dental, we offer different types of teeth fillings to cater to our patient's unique needs and preferences.

Teeth fillings offer an array of benefits, including:

• Restoring the strength and function of damaged teeth
