Fillings
Dental Fillings at Fort Meigs Dental
A small cavity can turn into a big problem if it is ignored. Sensitivity sneaks in. Chewing starts to hurt. Decay quietly spreads deeper into the tooth.
Dental fillings stop that damage and restore your tooth before things get worse.
What is a Dental Filling?
A filling is used to repair a tooth that has been affected by decay or has broken. After the damaged area is carefully removed and cleaned, a filling material is placed to restore the tooth’s shape, strength, and function.
The filling seals the tooth and keeps bacteria from getting back inside, helping prevent future decay.
At Fort Meigs Dental, we use tooth-colored composite fillings that blend in naturally with your smile. These fillings are strong, durable, and designed to look like your natural tooth.
Composite fillings can:
Restore strength to weakened teeth
Match the color of your natural enamel
Support long term tooth health
Preserve more of your natural tooth structure
Simple Treatment, Lasting Protection
Fillings are one of the most common and straightforward dental treatments. When caught early, the process is quick, comfortable, and helps you avoid more extensive dental work later.
If you are experiencing sensitivity, pain, or have been told you have a cavity, a filling may be the right solution. The important thing to remember is that cavities do not cause symptoms when they are caught early and are relatively small in size. This is why regular 6 month check-ups are so important.
