Dental Fillings (Tooth-Colored / Composite)

Small cavities often don’t hurt at first, which is why regular checkups matter. You may need a filling if you notice:

• Sensitivity — to sweet, hot or cold foods and drinks
• A toothache — especially when biting down
• A visible hole or dark spot — on the surface of a tooth
• Food getting stuck — in the same spot between teeth
• A rough or chipped edge — that you can feel with your tongue
• A broken old filling — that needs to be replaced

The sooner a cavity is treated, the smaller and simpler the filling, and the more of your natural tooth we can save.
