What Are Dental Fillings?

Dental fillings are restorative materials used to repair teeth that have been affected by decay, fractures, or minor damage. They restore the tooth's structure and function, preventing further decay and providing strength and support.

At Livingston Dental Group, we use modern tooth-colored composite materials that match your natural tooth color, so your fillings blend seamlessly with your smile. Unlike outdated silver fillings, our composite fillings require more conservative cavity preparations, preserving more of your healthy tooth structure.

Caring for Your Dental Fillings

Maintaining good oral hygiene through regular brushing, flossing, and attending routine dental check-ups is crucial for the longevity of fillings. Avoiding habits like biting hard objects or chewing ice can help prevent damage to the filling.

With proper care, your tooth-colored fillings can serve you well for many years, keeping your smile healthy and beautiful.

Preparation

The affected area is gently cleaned and prepared, removing decay while preserving as much healthy tooth structure as possible.

Filling Placement

We apply the tooth-colored composite material in layers, carefully shaping it to match your natural tooth contours.

Hardening and Polishing

A special curing light hardens the filling, and we polish it to a smooth finish that feels natural and comfortable.
