Dental Fillings: Repair Cavities & Protect Your Teeth

Tooth decay is the #1 most common disease worldwide, but dental fillings can stop cavities from worsening and restore your tooth’s strength. At Dental on Blackwood, we use tooth-colored composite fillings for a natural, durable repair—so you can smile with confidence.

Why Treat Cavities Early?

Ignoring tooth decay can lead to:
⚠ Severe pain & infection (requiring root canal or extraction)
⚠ Higher treatment costs (early fillings are simpler & more affordable)
⚠ Risk of tooth loss (advanced decay weakens the entire tooth)

Don’t wait for pain! Small cavities are easier and cheaper to fix.

Aesthetic Composite Fillings

Gone are the days of obvious silver amalgams. We use:
✔ Natural-looking white composites– Blends seamlessly with your teeth
✔ Strong, durable materials – Resists wear and chewing pressure

What to Expect During Your Filling

1. Numbing (if needed) – Local anesthesia ensures a pain-free experience.
2. Decay removal – We gently clean out damaged areas.
3. Filling placement – Composite resin is layered and hardened with a curing light.
4. Polishing – Your tooth feels smooth and looks natural.

How We Detect Cavities Early

We catch decay before it becomes problematic with:
🔍 Visual exams – Checking for soft spots or discoloration
📸 Digital X-rays – Revealing hidden decay between teeth

Prevention & Treatment Leads To A Healthier Smile

While fillings fix existing cavities, we also help you prevent future ones with:
✓ Personalized hygiene tips
✓ Fluoride treatments (strengthens enamel)
✓ Regular check-ups (to monitor your oral health)
