Dental Fillings

Drake Family Dental is here for all your dental needs, including filling cavities. We offer both white and silver fillings. When you get a cavity, your dentist will have to remove the dead, decaying part of your tooth, and then fill it in to prevent further damage to the tooth, and further damage to the gums. If the tooth is not taken care of it can result in a hole in the tooth and will ultimately need to be removed. The easiest way to treat cavities is by getting them filled. With our state-of-the-art technology, we at Drake Family Dental, will have you well taken care of and on your way with a cavity free, healthy mouth.

Common Questions

Why are dental fillings needed?

Dental fillings are used for both minor tooth decay and mild damage to the tooth. Fillings help restore your tooth to its former strength as well as improve your oral health.

Fillings will fill the hollow opening in your teeth due to cavities or decay.

How do I take care of my dental fillings?

You just have to keep up with your regular dental care routine – brushing and flossing twice a day. Remember to attend regular dental check-ups and informing Dr. Drake about any changes as soon as they appear.

Do dental fillings hurt?

For some people there is mild and temporary discomfort around the area where the filling was added. Steering clear of triggers (cold / hot substances) will help control the level of discomfort. Everyone is different when it comes to post-op sensitivity but it usually is not an issue.
