Cavities don't heal on their own — left untreated, decay spreads deeper into the tooth and can eventually reach the nerve. A filling removes the decayed part of the tooth and restores its shape and strength using a durable, tooth-colored material.
Catching cavities early usually means a simple, quick appointment rather than more involved treatment later.
When you might need this
- Visible dark spots or holes in a tooth
- Sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet foods
- Pain when biting down
- A cavity spotted during routine check-up X-rays
- An old filling that's cracked or worn out

Regular exams catch cavities while treatment is still simple.

Investment

Frequently asked questions
Yes — we use tooth-colored composite material shaded to match your natural teeth, so the filling blends in seamlessly.
The area is numbed beforehand, so the procedure itself is generally painless. Mild sensitivity afterward is normal for a day or two.
With good oral hygiene, a well-placed filling can last for many years before it might need replacing.
