How Fillings Can Make a Difference

Are you experiencing tooth pain or sensitivity? Do you see noticeable holes or dark spots on your teeth? Are there areas of your teeth that feel rough or uneven? Unfortunately, these symptoms are often signs that dental decay has created damage to the enamel of your teeth, often resulting in cavities. If left untreated, this damage can progress and, in worst case scenarios, lead to the loss of a tooth. But that doesn’t have to happen! Seeking dental care as soon as you experience these symptoms can help save your teeth and your smile.

FAQ

What are tooth fillings?

When dental decay builds up on your teeth, it wears down the enamel. When this goes untreated, this breakdown can create a hole in your tooth, or a cavity. Dentists use fillings, made of an artificial material, to fill these cavities and prevent further decay and damage to your tooth. In addition, dental fillings can help repair cracked or chipped teeth where the enamel has broken off.

For a filling procedure, a dentist administers a local anesthetic to numb the area. Next, they remove the infected area of the tooth, and the tooth is cleaned and prepared for the filling.

Eddie Kuo, DDS offers composite resin fillings that have a natural appearance, giving you back your natural smile while restoring the function of your tooth.

Why do I need a tooth filling?

You may need a tooth filling if you have a cavity or tooth decay. Cavities can cause pain, sensitivity, and further damage to your tooth if left untreated. Fillings help to remove the decayed part of the tooth and replace it with a durable material, which protects the tooth from further damage and restores its function.

Are tooth fillings painful?

Getting a tooth filling is usually not painful, as your dentist will numb the area around the tooth before starting the procedure. You may feel some pressure or mild discomfort during the process, but most people don’t experience significant pain. After the filling is placed, you might have some sensitivity or discomfort, but this usually goes away within a few days.

How much do tooth fillings cost?

The cost of tooth fillings can vary depending on the type of material used and where you live. Amalgam fillings tend to be the least expensive, costing between $50 and $150 per tooth, while composite resin fillings cost between $90 and $250 per tooth. Porcelain and gold fillings are more expensive, costing between $250 and $4,500 per tooth. Most dental insurance plans cover at least part of the cost of tooth fillings, so be sure to check with your insurance provider and dentist to find out how much your treatment will cost.

How is a tooth filling done?

When you get a tooth filling, your dentist will first numb the area around the tooth to minimize discomfort. They will then remove the decayed part of the tooth using special tools. After the decay is removed, your dentist will clean the area and apply the filling material. The material is then shaped to match the natural contours of your tooth and hardened using a special light.
