Repair and Protect Your Teeth with Dental Fillings

At Azure Dental in Colleyville, TX, we provide durable, natural-looking dental fillings to restore teeth affected by cavities or minor damage. Dental fillings are one of the most common and effective solutions for repairing decay, protecting your tooth from further damage, and preserving your smile.

Dr. Aditi Shah uses advanced materials and technology to ensure that your dental fillings blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, offering both function and aesthetics.

What Are Dental Fillings?

Dental fillings are restorations used to repair cavities, cracks, or minor fractures in a tooth. After removing decayed or damaged portions of the tooth, the area is cleaned and filled with a durable material to restore its structure and function.

At Azure Dental, we offer different types of filling materials, including:

  • Composite Resin Fillings: Tooth-colored fillings that blend with your smile.
  • Amalgam Fillings: A durable and cost-effective option for back teeth.
  • Ceramic Fillings: Made from porcelain, these fillings are stain-resistant and aesthetically pleasing.

If you're unsure which option is best for your needs, Dr. Shah will explain the advantages of each during your consultation.

Benefits of Dental Fillings

Choosing dental fillings to treat cavities or minor damage offers several benefits:

  • Stops Decay: Prevents further spread of decay.
  • Restores Function: Enables proper chewing and speaking.
  • Natural Appearance: Modern materials mimic the look of natural teeth.
  • Preserves Tooth Structure: Protects your natural tooth and avoids the need for more invasive treatments like dental crowns.

Regular dental check-ups are essential for identifying cavities early. Explore our dental cleanings service to keep your teeth in optimal health and prevent the need for extensive dental work.

What to Expect During a Dental Filling Procedure

Here’s what you can expect when getting a dental filling at Azure Dental:

  1. Examination and Diagnosis: Dr. Shah will examine the affected tooth and may take X-rays to determine the extent of the damage.
  2. Numbing the Area: A local anesthetic is used to ensure your comfort during the procedure.
  3. Decay Removal: The decayed portion of the tooth is carefully removed.
  4. Filling Placement: The cavity is cleaned, and the chosen filling material is placed and shaped to match your natural tooth.
  5. Polishing: The filling is polished for a smooth, comfortable finish.

When Do You Need a Dental Filling?

You may need a dental filling if you notice:

  • Tooth sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet foods.
  • A visible hole, discoloration, or dark spots on a tooth.
  • Pain or discomfort while chewing.

If decay or damage is more extensive, Dr. Shah may recommend other restorative treatments like root canals or dental crowns.
