Getting a dental filling is one of the fastest and most straightforward dental procedures we offer. In many cases, you can be in and out of the office in about half an hour, with your smile restored and back to full health. We always ensure that the entire treatment is fully comfortable for our patients, using the ideal amount of local numbing to keep the treatment area free from pain. We then use modern dental tools to clean and sanitize the cavity, clearing out any decay or bacteria. Lastly, we fill in the cavity with your chosen material, shaping it so it is like a natural part of your tooth.
If you need more than one filling, the treatment is quick enough that you can receive multiple fillings in a single visit in most cases. After we examine your teeth, we can provide you with treatment options that match your schedule and needs.
When cavities first begin to appear, most patients will not notice them. They tend not to come with symptoms until the decay has already become more severe. Because of this, we recommend for our patients to visit for regular checkups at least twice a year and receive a quick dental exam. This allows us to spot and treat and cavities before they become a more significant problem or start causing painful symptoms.
If you have already started to notice symptoms such as pain or discoloration, it may be time to get a root canal or other treatment instead. Dr. Modi has experience providing effective treatments at every stage of tooth decay, finding your ideal solution with a focus on preserving and restoring the health and appearance of your smile.
