Accepting new patients
Natural-Looking Restorative Care
Fillings are one of the most common treatments in general dentistry. Using a material matched to your tooth means the repair is far less noticeable - something that matters most on teeth that show when you smile or speak.
Minor damage
Restoring a small chip or area of wear on a tooth.
Visible older work
Replacing some older restorations where clinically appropriate.
Appearance
Choosing a material selected to blend with the surrounding tooth.
When a Filling Is the Right Option
Not every damaged tooth is best treated with a filling. Where a large amount of tooth structure has been lost, a crown may provide more support. Where appearance is the main concern, veneers or other cosmetic options may be discussed instead.
- The extent and position of the damage
- How much sound tooth structure remains
- The condition of any existing restorations
- How the tooth meets its opposing teeth
- The health of the surrounding gum
- Your own priorities for appearance and longevity
