RESTORATIVE DENTAL FILLINGS

A filling is often necessary to fill a cavity within the tooth.  The filling is the material that your Dentist uses to fill a cavity after removing tooth decay.  This is a standard dental procedure and typically involves little discomfort.

The Dentist will numb the area (teeth, gums, tongue) around the tooth that requires restoration, using an anesthetic.  Our office also offers Sedation Dentistry via Nitrous Oxide administration, if necessary, to reduce pain and help patients to relax during the procedure.  Any tooth decay will be removed and replaced with a filling.
