Protect Your Teeth With Tooth Fillings
Tooth decay can happen to anyone—but with the right care, it’s easy to treat. At Your Total Dental & Orthodontics in Temple, TX, we offer tooth-colored fillings that not only repair your teeth but also blend in naturally with your smile. If you have a cavity, chipped tooth, or minor damage, a filling can help protect your tooth and prevent further problems.
What Are Dental Fillings?
A filling is a treatment used to repair a tooth that’s been damaged by decay or minor wear. We gently remove the decayed portion of the tooth and fill the space with a strong, durable material. This helps restore the tooth’s shape, function, and appearance.
We use composite resin—a tooth-colored material—for most of our fillings. It bonds well with the natural tooth and is less noticeable than older metal fillings.
What to Expect During the Procedure?
Getting a filling is a quick and comfortable process:
- We start by numbing the area to ensure you feel no discomfort.
- The decayed or damaged part of the tooth is removed.
- We clean the space and place the filling material carefully.
- The filling is shaped to match your bite and polished for a natural finish.
Most fillings can be completed in just one visit.
