Comprehensive Care with Dental Fillings and Sealants
Dental Fillings: Restoring Your Smile
Composite fillings and porcelain fillings restore the function and appearance of teeth affected by decay or damage. During your appointment, we remove the decay, clean the area, and fill the cavity with durable material to match the natural color of your teeth. In addition to treating cavities, dental fillings can repair chipped or broken teeth and close small gaps between teeth.
Dental Sealants: Preventing Tooth Decay
Pediatric dental sealants are a thin layer of resin applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth to protect against decay. The sealant bonds quickly, filling the natural grooves of teeth and creating a barrier against bacteria. Sealants are especially effective for children and teens, offering extra protection during their cavity-prone years.

How much do fillings cost?
The cost of dental fillings varies depending on the size of the cavity and the material used. Composite fillings generally cost more than silver amalgam. We’ll provide a full cost estimate during your consultation, and flexible payment options are available to make your care more affordable.
-
How many fillings can you get at once?
The number of fillings you can receive in one visit depends on the extent of your decay and how comfortable you feel during treatment. We can often complete multiple fillings in a single appointment to save you time and minimize visits.
-
How long does dental sealant last?
Dental sealants typically last between 3 to 5 years but can last even longer with good oral hygiene. We’ll check your sealants during routine dental checkups and reapply them as needed to ensure continued protection.
