Dental fillings provide a protective barrier between the tooth and external threats, significantly reducing the risk of enamel erosion and decay. Furthermore, they increase the strength and resilience of weakened teeth, thereby limiting the potential for fractures or breakage.

The filling material also prevents bacteria from penetrating vulnerable areas and creating an infection. Dental fillings can reduce the risk of more severe issues such as gum disease or tooth loss. The composite resin is safe, durable, and reliable, and shade-matching ensures that your filling is virtually invisible.

A filling appointment is at least an hour, with multiple fillings requiring a longer appointment. We allow a little extra time for treatment as we understand that many patients may have significant fear and anxiety around dental work. This extra time will let us get to know and understand you, ensuring that you’re physically and emotionally comfortable with your experience.

The cost of fillings depends on the size of filling required and the number of tooth surfaces that need to be filled. Generally, fillings start at $200, with an extensive filling costing up to $600.
