Fillings
A Lasting Solution for Tooth Decay and Damage
At Belmont Dental, we understand that cavities and tooth damage can impact more than just your oral health—they can also affect your confidence and comfort. Dental fillings are a reliable, effective way to restore the health, strength, and appearance of your teeth.
Our advanced techniques and high-quality materials ensure that your fillings blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, so you can smile, eat, and speak with confidence. Whether you’re addressing new cavities or replacing older fillings, our team is here to provide care that’s gentle, precise, and long-lasting.

Why Dental Fillings Are Important
Cavities are one of the most common oral health issues, but they’re also highly treatable. Dental fillings are essential for:

Stopping Decay
Once decay begins, it can quickly spread. Fillings remove the damaged portion of the tooth and prevent further deterioration.

Restoring Function
Fillings restore the structure of your tooth, making it easier to chew and speak.

Protecting Your Oral Health
Left untreated, cavities can lead to more serious issues, including infections and tooth loss.

Preserving Your Smile’s Appearance
Modern fillings are virtually invisible, ensuring your smile looks as natural as possible.
At Belmont Dental, we’re committed to making dental care a positive experience, so you can address cavities without hesitation.

- Local anesthesia ensures that you remain comfortable throughout the procedure.

Precise Placement

Types of Fillings We Offer
Composite Fillings
Composite (tooth-colored) fillings are crafted to match the natural shade of your teeth, making them an ideal choice for visible areas. Benefits include:
- Natural appearance for seamless integration.
- Strong, durable material designed to withstand daily wear.
- A minimally invasive procedure that preserves more of your natural tooth.
Amalgam Fillings
While less common today, amalgam fillings (silver-colored) are still an option for certain patients. They are highly durable and often used for back teeth that experience significant chewing pressure.
Replacement Fillings
If you have older fillings that are worn, damaged, or causing discomfort, we can replace them with new, more advanced materials to improve both function and aesthetics.
