Maintain Your Smile With Dental Fillings
Suspect A Cavity?
Did you know that ignoring tooth cavities can lead to severe tooth decay that may require a full root canal or even lead to tooth loss? This can weaken your tooth structure—which is something we want to help you avoid. To protect your tooth and get rid of the underlying decay, we recommend having a dental filling placed with Dr. Vartikar. She will color‑match this dental restoration to your smile for a durable, natural look.
Symptoms To Look Out For
What To Expect
If a filling is needed, we begin the dental filling procedure by numbing the area, removing decay, and performing careful tooth preparation. Next, we prepare the tooth structure for a composite tooth filling that blends with your smile. We apply an etching gel, rinse, and then pack the cavity with resin—one of the most common dental filling materials. The material is cured and hardened with a special dental light to complete the filling procedure. Our team can place multiple fillings in one visit to reduce extra trips, when appropriate for your dental care.
