What is Dental Fillings?

Dental fillings are used to repair teeth affected by decay, cracks, or minor fractures. When left untreated, cavities can progress, leading to pain, infection, or even tooth loss. A filling restores strength, protects the tooth from further damage, and helps you maintain a healthy, confident smile.

At Firefly Family Dentistry, Dr. Matthew Sandberg and
Dr. Katelyn Stine use the latest materials and techniques to ensure that your filling looks natural, feels comfortable, and lasts for years.

Our Dental Filling Options

We offer a variety of high-quality filling materials to meet your unique needs:

Tooth-Colored Composite Fillings

Composite resin fillings are matched to the shade of your natural teeth, making them virtually invisible. These fillings chemically bond to your tooth, adding strength while preserving a natural appearance. They are an excellent choice for patients who value aesthetics and durability.

What to Expect During the Dental Filling Process

Getting a filling is a straightforward and comfortable experience at Firefly Family Dentistry:

Gentle Preparation

We remove any decay and clean the area thoroughly to prepare it for the filling.

Precise Restoration

The filling material is carefully placed, shaped, and bonded to match your tooth’s natural anatomy.

Final Adjustments

Dr. Sandberg or Dr. Stine will check your bite and make small refinements to ensure a seamless, comfortable fit.

For small surface cavities, many patients do not require anesthesia. However, your comfort is our top priority, and we are happy to offer anesthetic options if preferred.

After the procedure, you may experience mild sensitivity for a few days, which typically resolves quickly.

How Long Do Dental Fillings Last?

With proper care, dental fillings can last anywhere from five to fifteen years. To maximize the lifespan of your restoration:

=Brush twice daily with a fluoride toothpaste
=Floss daily to remove plaque between teeth
=Visit Firefly Family Dentistry every six months for cleanings and exams
=Avoid chewing hard foods like ice or non-food objects

Regular dental visits allow our team to monitor your fillings and ensure your smile stays healthy.
