What are dental fillings used for?

Fillings are commonly used to treat tooth cavities that can affect the outer layer (enamel) and the inner layer (dentin). They can also repair minor damage from cracks, chips, and wear.

Cavities / tooth decay before they get larger
Chipped or cracked teeth when damage is limited
Worn teeth (often from bruxism)
Small fractures from habits like nail-biting

Symptoms you shouldn't ignore

These signs don't always mean something serious, but they're worth checking—especially if they persist or worsen.

Sensitivity
To cold, hot, or sweet foods and drinks

Pain when chewing
Or discomfort when biting down

Visible dark spots
Or a small hole on a tooth

Food getting stuck
In one area more than usual

A quick exam helps confirm what's going on and whether a filling (or another option) is best.

Why does the price of a dental filling vary by tooth surfaces?

Each tooth has five surfaces. The number of surfaces involved can affect the complexity of the filling.

Mesial — facing the front of your mouth
Distal — facing the back of your mouth
Occlusal — the chewing surface
Buccal — facing the cheek
Lingual — facing the tongue

Types of dental fillings (based on the size of the cavity)

After an evaluation, we'll recommend the option that best protects your tooth and matches your needs.

Simple filling — affects only one surface
Complex filling — involves two or three surfaces
Extensive reconstruction — for significant tooth damage

Dental fillings FAQs

Do dental fillings hurt?

Most patients feel little to no discomfort. We use techniques to keep you comfortable, and many fillings can be completed in one visit.

How long do tooth-colored fillings last?

It depends on the tooth, bite forces, and oral hygiene. With good care and regular checkups, fillings can last for years. We'll tell you what to expect for your case.

What's the difference between a filling and a crown?

A filling repairs a smaller area of damage. A crown covers and protects a tooth that's more weakened or has larger decay. An exam helps determine the best option.

Why does the price of a filling vary?

Pricing can vary based on how many tooth surfaces are affected, how deep the decay is, and how complex the repair is. We'll explain your options clearly after your evaluation.

Can I wait before fixing a cavity?

If decay grows, treatment can become more involved. If you notice sensitivity or discomfort, it's a good idea to get it checked soon so you have simpler options.
