About this service

Dental fillings at DiBella Dental Care

A filling restores a tooth that has been affected by decay or minor damage. After the affected area is cleaned, the space is filled with a durable material shaped to match your bite, protecting the tooth from further decay and restoring normal chewing.

Tooth-colored materials can blend naturally with your smile in many cases. The right material and approach depend on the tooth’s location, the size of the area being restored, and your individual evaluation.

How it works

What to expect

  1. Evaluation

    The dentist examines the tooth and confirms whether a filling is the appropriate treatment for the area of concern.

  2. Comfortable placement

    The area is numbed, decay is gently removed, and the filling material is placed, shaped, and polished — usually in a single visit.

  3. Bite check and aftercare

    Your bite is checked so the restored tooth feels natural, and the team explains what to expect as any numbness wears off.
