Dental fillings are used to fill tooth cavities or repair cracked or broken teeth. If you have a toothache, or if you have a damaged tooth, you should schedule a consultation at Smooth Dental Group to see if you are in need of a filling. The dentist will be able to identify if you have a cavity or if you need a filling for a broken tooth.
A filling is most commonly needed when tooth decay has caused a cavity to form on a tooth surface. If you don’t get a filling, the cavity will get worse. It may cause pain and an abscess may form. This may lead to more severe problems, such as bone loss. A filling repairs the tooth and stops tooth decay. Over time, a worn-out filling may need to be replaced.
At Smooth Dental Group, Dr. Elizabeth Tran will first give you a thorough oral examination. If you have a cavity caused by tooth decay, she will explain to you the procedure for the filling and recommend the best type of filling for you. The type of filling will depend on your individual needs.
The different types of fillings include:
The procedure for filling a cavity is carried out under local anesthesia so that the patient doesn’t feel any pain. The tooth is first completely cleaned to remove all the bacteria and the filling is then placed into the cavity. The filling material hardens, making the tooth whole again.
For a cracked or broken tooth, the dentist will custom-make the filling to repair the tooth as required. Post-filling care instructions will be given to you by the dentist, which you will need to follow to ensure the best results from your dental treatment.

Everyone was extremely professional and made sure to educate me on my dental work. I had to have deep cleaning and 1 tooth extracted. The dental staff kept me informed as to what to expect from each procedure and educated me on the proper care after each procedure. The dentist even called me at home after the procedures to see how I was feeling. !!! Another important feature was all the preventative education I was provided. I would definitely refer anyone to this dentist!!featureCelina Beaumont2022-10-04Happy with service and definitely I like the people 😀Yeimmi Aguirre2022-09-26Everyone is so friendly, understanding and patience, I really appreciate you all take an amazing care for us and make us feel so comfortable.Adolfo Hernandez2022-09-02My time here at smooth dental has been great.the doctors and staff are amazing and tentative I definetly recommend.
