Dental Fillings at Ashley Mooney, DDS in Batavia, NY

At Ashley Mooney, DDS in Batavia, NY, we offer high-quality dental fillings to restore teeth affected by decay, cracks, or fractures. Fillings are a common and effective treatment for cavities, helping to preserve your tooth’s structure and prevent further damage. Whether you need a small filling or a more extensive restoration, our team provides personalized care to keep your smile healthy and strong.

What Are Dental Fillings?

Dental fillings are materials used to repair teeth that have been damaged by decay or trauma. They fill the cavity left after removing decay, restoring the tooth’s normal shape and function. At Ashley Mooney, DDS, we offer tooth-colored composite fillings that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, giving you a beautiful and durable restoration.

When Are Fillings Needed?

You may need a dental filling if you experience:

  • Cavities: When a tooth is affected by decay, a filling can prevent further damage and restore the tooth.
  • Cracked or Broken Teeth: If your tooth is cracked or fractured, a filling can repair the damage and restore function.
  • Worn Teeth: Teeth worn down from grinding or other habits may need fillings to restore their shape and strength.

The Dental Filling Process

Getting a filling at Ashley Mooney, DDS is a straightforward procedure designed to restore your tooth quickly and comfortably:

  • Evaluation and Diagnosis: Dr. Mooney will examine your tooth to determine if a filling is needed. This may involve taking X-rays to assess the extent of the decay or damage.
  • Preparation: Once it’s determined that a filling is necessary, the decayed or damaged portion of the tooth will be gently removed. The area is then cleaned and prepared for the filling material.
  • Filling Placement: The chosen filling material is applied in layers and carefully shaped to match your tooth’s natural contours. For composite fillings, a special light is used to harden each layer.
  • Polishing and Adjustments: After the filling is in place, Dr. Mooney will polish and adjust the filling to ensure a smooth, comfortable fit that blends seamlessly with your natural teeth.

Benefits of Dental Fillings

  • Restores Tooth Function: Fillings repair damaged teeth, allowing you to chew and speak comfortably.
  • Prevents Further Decay: By filling a cavity, the filling helps prevent the spread of decay and protects the tooth from further damage.
  • Natural Appearance: Tooth-colored composite fillings blend with your natural teeth, providing a virtually invisible restoration.
  • Long-Lasting Protection: With proper care, dental fillings can last for many years, offering durable and reliable protection.
  • Quick and Comfortable: The filling procedure is simple and can be completed in just one visit, providing a fast and effective solution to tooth decay.
