Stronger, Longer-Lasting Dental Fillings for a Healthy Smile

Even with excellent brushing and flossing, anyone can develop a cavity. The good news? Repairing tooth decay with a tooth colored filling is quick, comfortable, and helps protect your smile for years to come. At Lakeview Dental, we provide high-quality fillings for patients across Winter Garden and Horizon West, Florida, restoring both function and appearance.

When You Might Need a Dental Filling

Dental fillings treat more than just cavities. You may benefit from a filling if you have:

  • Tooth decay or small cavities
  • Chips or fractures
  • Tooth wear from grinding or clenching

By sealing the affected area, fillings prevent further damage that could lead to pain, infection, or even tooth loss.

What Are Dental Fillings?

Unlike most body tissues, teeth cannot heal on their own once decay starts. A filling restores the tooth’s shape, strength, and function after the decayed portion is removed.

Tooth-Colored (Composite) Resin Fillings

  • Crafted from durable, natural-looking resin that is BPA free.
  • Color-matched to your enamel for a seamless appearance.
  • Ideal for both front and back teeth.
  • Also useful for repairing minor chips or wear.

Why Timely Treatment Matters

Delaying a cavity repair allows decay to spread deeper into the tooth. Untreated cavities can lead to:

  • Increased pain and sensitivity
  • Root canal therapy or crowns
  • Tooth loss requiring implants or bridges
  • Infection that may impact overall health

A simple filling now can save you from costly, complex treatments later.

What to Expect During a Filling

  1. Comfort First: We numb the area so you remain pain-free.
  2. Decay Removal: The dentist gently removes the decayed portion of the tooth. Sometimes, the dentist may place a pulp cap to protect your nerves. 
  3. Restoration: The filling material is placed, shaped, and—if composite—hardened with a special curing light.
  4. Finishing Touches: We polish and adjust your bite for a natural feel.

Caring for Teeth with Fillings

  • Brush and floss daily to prevent new decay.
  • Limit sugary or acidic foods and drinks.
  • Wear a night guard if you grind your teeth.
  • Visit Lakeview Dental regularly for checkups and cleanings.

With good home care and professional maintenance, your filling can last many years.
