Restore Your Smile with Dental Fillings

When cavities strike, prompt treatment with a dental filling can save your tooth and prevent further damage. At Reimche-Vu Family Dentistry, we use tooth-colored composite fillings that restore both the strength and natural beauty of your smile.

What to Expect

The Filling Process

First, Dr. David will gently numb the area around the affected tooth to ensure your complete comfort. The decayed portion of the tooth is then carefully removed, and the area is cleaned and prepared for the filling material.

We primarily use composite resin fillings, which are matched to the exact shade of your natural teeth. The material is applied in layers, with each layer hardened using a special curing light. This creates a strong, durable bond with your tooth.

Finally, the filling is shaped and polished to match the contours of your tooth, ensuring a comfortable bite and a seamless appearance. Most patients are pleasantly surprised by how quickly and painlessly the entire process goes.

Types of Fillings

Which Filling Is Right for You?

Composite Resin

Our preferred option. Tooth-colored and mercury-free, composite fillings bond directly to the tooth for a strong, natural-looking restoration.

Ceramic / Porcelain

Highly durable and stain-resistant, ceramic fillings are an excellent choice for larger restorations where aesthetics and longevity are priorities.

Glass Ionomer

These fillings release fluoride over time, providing added protection against decay. They are often used for fillings near the gum line or in baby teeth.
