Tooth Decay and Damage

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.

Gentle Preparation

  • The affected tooth is carefully cleaned to remove decay and prepare it for the filling.
  • Local anesthesia ensures that you remain comfortable throughout the procedure.

Precise Placement

  • The filling material is applied in layers, shaped to match your tooth’s natural contours, and hardened using a special light.

Final Adjustments

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.
