At Pasquale J. Malpeso, DMD, PC, our dentist and team provide high-quality dental fillings to restore teeth affected by cavities, wear or minor damage. Fillings are one of the most common restorative treatments in dentistry, designed to preserve tooth structure and prevent further decay. We use durable, tooth-colored materials that blend with the natural appearance of your smile and support long-term oral health.
Our goal is to restore function while maintaining comfort and aesthetics. Each filling is placed with precision and attention to detail, using modern materials that are both safe and effective.
What to Expect During the Filling Procedure
The dental filling process begins with a thorough examination and digital imaging to determine the extent of the decay or damage. If a filling is needed, our dentist will gently remove the affected tooth structure and clean the area to eliminate bacteria.
A filling material is then applied in layers, shaped and hardened with a curing light. The final step involves adjusting the bite and polishing the tooth for a smooth, natural feel. This process is usually completed in a single visit and is performed under local anesthesia for patient comfort.
To ensure the filling lasts, we provide instructions for home care and recommend regular checkups. With good hygiene habits and routine maintenance, composite fillings can remain strong and intact for many years.
A Practical Solution for Common Dental Concerns
Dental fillings play a vital role in early intervention and long-term oral wellness. When treated promptly, a small cavity can be addressed before it leads to more complex or costly issues. Our dentist and team use advanced techniques to ensure a secure fit and natural appearance, helping restore both function and confidence.
We are committed to clinical excellence, and every treatment is planned with your specific dental health in mind. Patient education is central to our approach, so you understand the process, materials and reasons behind each recommendation.
