Treatment
Dental Fillings
Tooth colored fillings that repair decay and blend in, so a mended tooth looks like the rest.
A filling repairs a tooth that has a cavity or a small crack. We use tooth colored composite that bonds to the tooth and matches your natural shade.
We gently clear out the decayed part of the tooth, then layer in the composite and shape it to fit your bite. A quick light cures it firm before you leave.
Filling a cavity early stops it from growing into a bigger problem that needs a crown or root canal. The repair is strong and hard to spot.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about dental fillings.
Anyone in Saline with a cavity, a worn filling, or a small chip may need a tooth colored dental filling from Powell and Udrys.
We numb the tooth, clear the decay, and place a tooth colored composite filling that matches your natural shade in one visit.
A single dental filling usually takes 20 to 40 minutes, and several small ones can often be done together.
Tooth colored fillings blend in and last for years, and Powell and Udrys will flag if a large cavity may eventually need a crown.
You can eat once the numbness wears off, and mild sensitivity usually settles in a few days. If it lingers, call Powell and Udrys DDS PC.
