Revive Your Teeth With Restorative Fillings

Restorative fillings are dental treatments used to repair teeth affected by cavities. The procedure involves removing the decayed portion of the tooth and filling the resulting cavity with a dental material. The filling not only restores the tooth's functionality but also prevents further decay and protects the tooth from additional damage.

Throughout these steps, our dedicated team at Dr. Ben Family Dentist will guide you, ensuring your comfort and satisfaction as we work together to achieve your desired results.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I need a restorative filling?

You may need a restorative filling if you experience tooth pain or sensitivity, notice visible signs of decay on your teeth, or if your dentist detects a cavity during a dental examination. Regular dental check-ups and X-rays can help identify the need for restorative fillings.

Can I eat and drink normally after getting restorative fillings?

Yes, you can resume your normal eating and drinking habits after getting restorative fillings. However, it's advisable to avoid consuming extremely hot or cold foods and drinks immediately after the procedure, as your teeth may be sensitive. Your dentist will provide you with specific instructions and recommendations based on your individual case.

How can I take care of my restorative fillings?

To maintain the longevity of your restorative fillings, it's important to practice good oral hygiene. This includes brushing your teeth twice a day, flossing daily, and visiting your dentist regularly for check-ups and cleanings. Avoiding excessive sugar consumption and taking precautions to prevent tooth decay can also help preserve your fillings.

Are restorative fillings painful?

The process of receiving a restorative filling is typically performed under local anesthesia to ensure a painless experience. You may feel some numbness or minor discomfort during the procedure, but it should not be overly painful. Your dentist will take measures to keep you comfortable throughout the process.

How long do restorative fillings last?

The lifespan of restorative fillings can vary depending on various factors, including the type of filling material used, the location of the filling, and your oral hygiene habits. On average, dental fillings can last for several years, but they may need to be replaced eventually. Regular dental check-ups can help monitor the condition of your fillings and determine if any repairs or replacements are necessary.

What Are the Benefits of Restorative Fillings?

Decay Removal & Tooth Preservation

Restorative fillings remove decayed tooth material, stopping the progression of cavities and preserving the remaining healthy tooth structure. This helps prevent further damage and the need for more extensive dental treatments like root canals or extractions.

Restored Function & Bite

Restorative fillings rebuild the shape and structure of the affected tooth, allowing for proper chewing and biting functionality. They help restore the natural strength and integrity of the tooth, enabling you to eat and speak comfortably.

Aesthetically Pleasing Results

Modern restorative filling materials, such as tooth-colored composite resin, offer natural-looking results. The fillings can be matched to the color of your teeth, blending seamlessly with your smile and providing a more aesthetically pleasing outcome compared to traditional silver amalgam fillings.

Longevity and Durability

Restorative fillings are designed to be long-lasting and durable. With proper oral hygiene care and regular dental check-ups, they can withstand the normal wear and tear of everyday use for many years. Restorative fillings provide a reliable solution for repairing and strengthening damaged teeth.

Client Testimonials

“I hadn't been to a dentist in over 6 years, and 10 years before that. Needless to say I needed a good deep cleaning and some fillings. I was very apprehensive about going to the dentist (obviously) but Dr. Ben was great. He put me at ease and took great care of me. The office staff and assistants are great and easy to work with. It was a great experience, and that's saying a lot coming from me. I would recommend Dr. Ben to anyone, especially if you're nervous about seeing a dentist. Also everyone there is great with kids. After seeing the dentist, my 6 year old said, "The dentist is AWESOME!" ..enough said.“

"My Girlfriend referred me to Dr. Ben after she had a great experience with his staff. I had been neglecting some previous bad dental work for several years and had things I needed to get handled. Ben's Staff was friendly, fun and very polite. Ben himself has a gentle touch (on your teeth this is important!!!) and takes close care of what he is doing. Very painless, affordable and for a dentist.... fun!"
