Types of Dental Fillings

We offer a range of filling materials based on the location of the cavity, your bite, and your aesthetic preferences:

  • Composite (Tooth-Colored) Fillings – Blend seamlessly with your natural tooth color; ideal for visible areas and require minimal removal of healthy tooth structure.
  • Amalgam (Silver) Fillings – Strong, durable, and cost-effective, though less natural-looking.
  • Glass Ionomer – Releases fluoride to help protect against future decay; often used for children’s teeth or near the gumline.
  • Ceramic Fillings, Inlays & Onlays – Stain- and wear-resistant, delivering long-lasting, natural-looking results.
  • Gold Fillings – Long-lasting and gentle on surrounding tissue, though less common today due to cost.

Dental Bonding

Beyond treating cavities, the same tooth-colored composite resin used in fillings can be applied to improve the look of your smile. Bonding is a quick, conservative option to:

  • Repair a chipped or cracked tooth
  • Close small gaps between teeth
  • Reshape or lengthen a tooth
  • Cover discoloration or stains

Bonding typically requires no anesthesia and can often be completed in a single visit, making it one of the fastest ways to refresh your smile.

What to Expect During Treatment

A typical filling appointment takes about an hour and is performed under local anesthesia so you won’t feel discomfort. We gently remove the decayed portion of the tooth, then place and shape your filling, checking your bite for a comfortable, precise fit.

After Your Filling

  • Numbness – Normal sensation returns within 1–2 hours; be careful not to bite your cheek, lip, or tongue until then.
  • Sensitivity – Mild sensitivity to hot or cold is normal and usually fades within a few days.
  • Bite adjustments – Rare, but let us know if anything feels off so we can make a quick adjustment.
  • Longevity – With good oral hygiene, fillings typically last 10+ years. We check their condition at your routine checkups.

  • Dr Maryz is truly THE best dentist i have ever had, and trust me I've been through alot searching for the right one! I am classic example of someone who has a tremendous fear of dentists based on past experiences. Dr Maryz makes me feel so comfortable and relaxed the minute I see her. I changed my insurance plan just so myself and my children could join her practice. She's a perfectionist and dental artist. She explains everything to me and never never pushes her opinion on to me. She provides all the facts and respects my decisions, never judging me for my actions. Her staff are the perfect support not just for her practice but also her patients. Don't think twice about booking an appointment with Dr Maryz. She's the best!!

    I recently visited Eversmile Dental and I was really impressed with the quality of care I received. The dentist is not only skilled and knowledgeable but also takes the time to explain procedures and answer any questions. One of the good thing is duration of Invisalign treatment is short compared to other places. The entire experience was professional and comfortable. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking for excellent dental care.

    I went in for a cleaning last Tuesday, October 22 and left very satisfied and heard. Dr.Estedrak, the dental hygienist and the front desk receptionist were professional, detailed, and lovely people. I’ve been getting cleanings my whole life, and Dr. Estedrak is the first person to recommend going in every four months. I will be back and I am very happy to find a competent dentist in this area.

Answers to Common Questions

If you find that the joy of savoring a delectable serving of ice cream or indulging in a comforting cup of tea is marred by dental distress that elicits a pained reaction, it is imperative that you reach out to our office without delay. With our expertise as proficient caregivers, we will thoroughly diagnose the root cause of your discomfort and administer the necessary treatment to relieve your symptoms, ensuring your journey towards optimal oral well-being resumes swiftly.
Cavities arise due to an infectious process that leads to gradual deterioration of the structure of your tooth. Despite originating as a small flaw in the outermost layer of enamel, untreated tooth decay gradually undermines increasing amounts of healthy tooth material as it advances towards the inner layers of your tooth.

Absolutely, it is still possible for tooth decay to occur on different parts of the tooth, specifically around the edges of a previously placed filling or, in rare cases, below it where decay has reappeared. Hence, it is crucial to uphold exceptional oral hygiene practices, consume a diet that is low in sugary drinks and treats, and ensure regular visits to our office for check-ups and proper dental care. Although tooth decay ranks second after the common cold in terms of occurrence, it can be largely prevented with these preventive measures.

At our clinic, we highly prioritize the convenience and well-being of our patients. In situations where cavities are found in neighboring teeth or within the same area of your smile, it might be feasible to address multiple teeth in a single visit. Nevertheless, the extent of dental work accomplished during each appointment is contingent upon a variety of factors. We take great care in ensuring that our patients are provided with clear and comprehensive information, and we customize every treatment plan and visit to cater to their individual requirements.

At our facility, we prioritize our patients’ time and convenience. In cases where cavities are present on neighboring teeth or within the same section of your smile, it might be feasible to address multiple teeth in a single visit. However, the extent of treatment conducted during each appointment is contingent upon various factors. Rest assured, we ensure our patients are fully aware of the procedures involved and customize their treatment plans and visits to meet their individual requirements.

During a dental filling procedure, you will receive local anesthesia to guarantee your comfort. The targeted tooth will remain fully numbed for the duration of your appointment. It is important to note that the effects of the anesthesia will gradually diminish within one to two hours after the completion of the procedure, allowing normal sensations to gradually return.

A tooth-colored composite filling undergoes complete hardening and setting by the conclusion of your appointment. Yet, it is recommended to wait for a few hours until the effects of the local anesthesia have completely dissipated. This suggestion aims to prevent any inadvertent biting of your lip, cheek, or tongue while still experiencing numbness.
The lifespan of a dental filling is influenced by the type of material utilized. While popular dental materials can endure for ten years or longer with proper maintenance, they can deteriorate, erode, or even fracture over time. In such instances, you may encounter tooth sensitivity, a rough edge, or a loose or dislodged piece of filling material. Regardless of the situation, it is crucial to replace the filling before any further damage occurs to the tooth or other undesirable consequences arise. In addition to practicing good oral hygiene to preserve your smile, we regularly assess the condition of your existing fillings during routine checkup examinations to ensure their long-lasting quality.
Investing in dental fillings is crucial for the maintenance and safeguarding of your smile’s health. The cost of a filling, however, varies depending on the number of tooth surfaces involved and the type of filling material used. Amalgam restorations are the most cost-effective option. On the other hand, tooth-colored composite fillings, although slightly more expensive, offer the added advantages of being metal-free and aesthetically pleasing. Ceramic fillings, inlays, and onlays are pricier than the aforementioned alternatives but deliver exceptional, long-lasting, and natural-looking outcomes.
Most dental insurance plans usually include coverage for dental fillings. Although we make every effort to make the most of your insurance benefits, you may still need to pay a portion of the cost yourself. At EverSmile Dental, we are dedicated to ensuring that you can start your treatment without any additional financial burden or unnecessary waiting.
