Protect Your Smile with Gentle, Long-Lasting Care
Cavities and tooth decay are common, but they don’t have to damage your smile. At Titanium Dental and Implants, we provide simple and effective treatments, like fillings and sealants to protect and restore your teeth. Whether you're fixing a small cavity or preventing one from forming, we’re here to help.
What Is a Cavity Filling?
A cavity filling is a quick treatment that restores a tooth damaged by decay. When a cavity forms, it creates a hole in your tooth. If left untreated, that hole can grow and cause pain or infection.
During a filling, we gently remove the decayed area and replace it with a strong material that matches your natural tooth. This helps stop the damage, relieve discomfort, and protect your tooth from future issues.
What Are Dental Sealants?
Sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth, where cavities often start. They work like a shield, blocking food and bacteria from getting stuck in deep grooves.
Sealants are especially helpful for children, but adults can benefit too. They’re painless, quick to apply, and can last several years with good care.
When Do You Need a Filling or Sealant?
You might need a filling if:
- You have a cavity or toothache
- You notice sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweets
- Your dentist finds early decay during an exam
You might need a sealant if:
- You or your child are prone to cavities
- Your back teeth have deep grooves or uneven surfaces
- You want extra protection for healthy teeth
We’ll always check your teeth and explain the best option for your situation.
Types of Fillings
At Titanium Dental and Implants, we offer different types of fillings to meet your needs. Each material is safe, durable, and designed to blend in with your natural smile.
Common types of fillings include:
- Tooth-colored composite: Matches the natural shade of your teeth and works well for visible areas.
- Silver amalgam: Strong and long-lasting, often used for back teeth where chewing pressure is highest.
- Ceramic or porcelain: Aesthetic and stain-resistant, often used for larger cavities or cosmetic results.
What happens during a filling appointment?
- First, we gently numb the area to keep you comfortable.
- We remove the decay from your tooth using safe, precise tools.
- The empty space is cleaned and filled with the material that suits your needs.
- We shape and polish the filling so it fits naturally with your bite.
The entire process usually takes less than an hour, and most patients return to normal activity right after their visit.
