You won't have to suffer from the pain of cavities and tooth decay for much longer!

The Purpose of Dental Fillings

Dental fillings are used to repair cavities or small cracks in teeth. Cavities are caused by tooth decay, which is the result of bacteria and acids breaking down the enamel of your teeth. Over time, these cavities can become larger and cause more serious damage to your teeth. Small cracks in teeth can be caused by trauma or wear and tear. If left untreated, these cracks can become larger and lead to further damage.

How Are Dental Fillings Placed?

The first step in getting a dental filling is to have your dentist diagnose the problem. Your dentist will then clean out the cavity or crack and remove any decay. Once the area is clean, your dentist will place the filling material into the cavity or crack. The filling material is then hardened using a special light.

Signs You Need a Dental Filling

Dental fillings are optimal for patients who have cavities, cracks, or some form of tooth decay. If you have tooth decay, it’s important to get it treated as soon as possible to prevent further damage to your tooth. You should consider getting a dental filling if you show the following signs:

You have a toothache

You have sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures

You see a small crack or chip in your tooth

You see a dark spot on your tooth

If you think you may need a dental filling, it’s important to see your dentist as soon as possible.

"I’ve been going to Dental Masters of Alexandria for years and a patient of Dr. Laviola since he started practicing here. He’s very personable, knowledgeable, takes time to explain procedures (I’ve had quite a few!) and is just an amazing dentist. The entire staff is wonderful, always helpful and friendly. Highly recommend!"

Aimee P.

"I have been a patient of Dr. Laviola's for several years now, and this is the best dental practice I have ever been to. Dr. Laviola and the whole team takes extraordinary care to make sure you are always comfortable throughout any cleaning and procedure, both major and minor (I have had both). The entire support team is also great."

Brett E.
