Make Teeth Look And Feel Natural Again.

We use tooth-coloured composite resin for fillings, offering a natural look and stronger bonding than metal. This procedure restores your tooth, prevents decay, and requires minimal drilling.

Why Are Fillings Important For Dental Health?

Delaying a filling can lead to bigger problems later. Here’s why timely fillings matter:

  • Stop cavities from worsening.
  • Prevent painful infections or abscesses.
  • Restore strength and durability to your tooth.
  • Save on costly future treatments.
  • Reduce sensitivity to temperature changes.
  • Preserve the natural look of your smile.

How Is A Cavity Filled?

Gentle Freezing

We start by numbing your gums to freeze the area, ensuring minimal discomfort during the procedure.

Filling the Tooth

After confirming the area is fully numb, we clean and prepare the tooth. An adhesive gel is applied, followed by composite resin, which is shaped to match your tooth’s natural structure and bite.

Hardening the Composite Material

The resin is cured with an LED light to harden it quickly. The dentist then checks for proper fit, makes any necessary adjustments, and polishes the filling for a smooth finish.

The Cost Of A Filling In Trenton

Fillings are commonly covered by dental insurance, with costs typically ranging from $0 to $100+ for insured patients. Without insurance, prices can range from $120 to $300 or more, especially for multiple fillings.

Factors influencing the cost include:

  • The state of your oral health.
  • Location and number of cavities.
  • Need for x-rays.
  • Time required for the procedure.
  • Materials and equipment used.

Prompt treatment is key to avoiding invasive procedures, reducing discomfort, and maintaining oral health.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, they are completely safe. Composite fillings are made from non-toxic materials and have been widely used in dental restorations for many years.

The durability of composite fillings depends on factors like oral care, diet, and habits. With proper maintenance, they can last over ten years.

A local anaesthetic is used to numb the area, ensuring a pain-free procedure. After the numbing wears off, mild sensitivity may occur but should go away within a few days.

To manage cavity pain, use pain relievers, rinse with saltwater, apply a cold compress, avoid irritating foods/drinks, maintain oral hygiene, and visit your dentist for treatment.

If the pain is severe or persistent, it could be a dental emergency. Contact the dental office, explain your symptoms, and request an urgent appointment for prompt care.
