Tooth Fillings

How does Centennial Smiles do Tooth Fillings?

A tooth filling is a way to restore a tooth damaged by decay back to its normal function and shape. At Centennial Smiles, we are a mercury-free clinic and use tooth-colored composite materials that blend naturally with your smile. We offer both direct fillings, which can be completed in a single visit, and indirect fillings, which may require multiple visits but offer additional durability for larger restorations.

Here are a few reasons you need a Tooth Filling.

  • REPAIR CAVITIES AND TOOTH DECAY
  • RESTORE CHIPPED OR BROKEN TEETH
  • REPLACE OLD, WORN FILLINGS
  • PROTECT EXPOSED ROOTS
  • PREVENT FURTHER TOOTH DAMAGE

What does the procedure involve?

Your filling procedure will depend on which type of restoration best suits your needs:

DIRECT FILLINGS

  • SINGLE APPOINTMENT PROCEDURE
  • TOOTH-COLORED COMPOSITE MATERIAL
  • IMMEDIATE CAVITY PREPARATION AND FILLING
  • DENTIST SHAPES AND POLISHES TO MATCH YOUR BITE
  • PERFECT FOR SMALLER CAVITIES AND REPAIRS

INDIRECT FILLINGS

  • TWO OR MORE APPOINTMENTS
  • INCLUDES INLAYS, ONLAYS, AND LARGER RESTORATIONS
  • FIRST VISIT: TOOTH PREPARATION AND IMPRESSIONS
  • TEMPORARY COVERING PLACED FOR PROTECTION
  • SECOND VISIT: PERMANENT RESTORATION PLACEMENT

You will receive care instructions at the conclusion of your treatment. Good oral hygiene practices and regular dental visits will aid in the life of your new fillings.
