What Are Fillings?

Dental fillings are a type of restoration used to repair teeth that have been damaged by decay, cracks or chips. When our experienced dentists repair the affected area with fillings, this allows the tooth to function properly again while restoring its appearance and structure. 

Even if you have great oral hygiene habits, cavities happen. Studies show that just about 9 in 10 adults ages 20 and older have experienced a cavity. At Ashburn Dentistry by Design, we are committed to helping you achieve a cavity-free smile with our tailored fillings and use top-notch materials to make sure your restoration lasts. We use tooth-colored composite resin materials that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, making your filling virtually invisible when you smile.

Receiving Fillings At Ashburn Dentistry By Design

We strive to create a welcoming environment where you feel relaxed and comfortable while receiving your fillings. Our team values patient education and is committed to making sure you feel confident in the care you are receiving. Receiving your filling only takes one appointment at our Ashburn office, where you can expect:

A Thorough Exam

One of our experienced dentists will perform an in-depth exam to determine if your tooth would benefit from a filling. Typically, our team will detect any decay or damage during your routine dental exams and cleanings and schedule a follow up appointment to have the filling performed.

Your comfort is always our top priority, and we want to make sure your visit is stress-free and pain-free which is why we numb your tooth so you don’t feel anything during this simple procedure.

We will prepare the tooth for the new restoration by removing the decayed portion inside the pit of the tooth.

Your dentist will then fill in the hole left behind with composite resin material before using a light to harden the material.

The last step involves shaping and smoothing the filling, so it feels normal when you bite down and chew.

Benefits Of Fillings

At Ashburn Dentistry by Design, we strive to detect any signs of cavities early on in order to provide effective, minimally invasive treatments such as fillings. Early treatment can prevent the need for more extensive, costly treatments down the road with additional benefits including:

  • Stops Progression of Decay: When our skilled dentists are able to fill the cavity with high-quality, durable materials, it seals the hole in your tooth and prevents any decay from progressing.

  • Enhanced Function: Dental fillings allow you to chew and speak comfortably again since they restore the tooth’s function.

  • Improves Appearance: Ashburn Dentistry by Design uses tooth-colored materials so that the filling blends in discreetly with the rest of your tooth, creating a uniform appearance.

  • Strengthens the Tooth: They help strengthen the teeth by providing structural support, as decay usually weakens the tooth.

  • Long Lasting: With proper care and oral hygiene habits, fillings last a while, typically 10 to 20 years.
