Is a Cavity Keeping You from a Healthy, Confident Smile?
Experiencing that pain associated with a toothache is a normal experience, and you may expect that feeling to go away in a day or two. However, when a toothache persists, your teeth feel sensitive to hot and cold foods and beverages, or you see visible dark spots on your teeth, you may have a cavity that requires a filling. Dental fillings fill areas of decay or damage using a durable tooth-colored resin, which helps renew your tooth’s strength, health, and functionality.
At SmileWorks, we’re committed to providing high-quality, comprehensive dental filling treatment that supports long-term oral health and comfort. With advanced materials and techniques, we ensure your filling looks natural and feels comfortable, helping restore your tooth’s function and integrity. Our team is dedicated to using the latest technology to achieve a lasting, aesthetically pleasing result that gives you a strong, healthy smile for many years to come.
Who May Need a Dental Filling?
According to the World Health Organization, an estimated two billion people globally suffer from tooth decay on their permanent teeth, which can occur for many reasons, including poor oral hygiene, genetics, receding gums, and consuming sugary or starchy foods and drinks. The bacteria, acid, food, and saliva in your mouth mix to become what’s called “plaque” — a sticky substance that coats your teeth and must be removed with the help of a professional. Plaque wears away at the tooth’s enamel, causing cavities in the tooth’s surface.
Our experienced team uses fillings to repair small cavities. Signs you may have a cavity and need a filling include the following:
- A bad taste in your mouth
- Swollen or bleeding gums
- Persistent toothache or mouth pain
- Tooth sensitivity to hot and cold foods and beverages
Regular dental cleanings are the best way to identify and address cavities early to prevent them from causing more damage. With our cutting-edge imaging technology, we can identify cavities and determine if they need a filling or a crown, which is used for larger cavities.

What to Expect During the Dental Filling Process
Small cavities that have not had the chance to grow or negatively impact a tooth’s structure may be repaired with a dental filling. Our compassionate professionals at SmileWorks understand getting a filling can be daunting, so we clearly communicate each step of the process, including the following, so you always know what to expect:
Anesthesia
We use local anesthesia to numb the affected area, ensuring a painless, comfortable procedure.
Tissue Removal
Once you’re comfortable, we remove the damaged or decayed tissue from the tooth using specialized tools.
Filling
We fill the space with a tooth-colored composite resin that blends in with the rest of the tooth.
Curing
The resin is cured using a light that hardens the material for a durable finish.
Polishing and Final Adjustments
We polish the tooth, smooth out any rough edges, and check your bite to ensure your filling feels comfortable and secure and looks natural.

Types of Dental Fillings We Use
At SmileWorks, we offer different types of dental fillings to best suit your needs and ensure optimal results. Here are the types of fillings we use:
Composite Resin Fillings
These tooth-colored fillings are our most popular choice, as they blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. Composite resin is durable, aesthetically pleasing, and ideal for small to medium cavities in visible areas of the mouth.
Ceramic Fillings
Made from high-quality porcelain, ceramic fillings are strong, stain-resistant, and provide a natural look. They are an excellent option for larger cavities and for patients looking for a long-lasting, natural-looking filling.
Glass Ionomer Fillings
These fillings are often used for cavities below the gumline or in young children. Glass ionomer releases fluoride, which can help protect the tooth from further decay.
