Myth: No matter what, your tooth is going to look damaged after you receive a dental filling.
Fact: We offer tooth-colored fillings, so your tooth can return to the way it looked before your cavity developed. We use composite, a synthetic acrylic-resin substance, that we will color-match to your tooth before placing it.
Myth: Dental fillings are uncomfortable but they are worth it.
Fact: The filling procedure itself is comfortable. We will numb your tooth tissue and the surrounding area before we begin. In addition, removing decay and filling your tooth will result in regained comfort.
Myth: You cannot receive sedation for a filling – you will simply need to rely on local anesthetic.
Fact: We offer sedation on a case-by-case basis. Dental fillings may qualify as a reason for sedation. If you suffer from severe anxiety or if you are nervous about your filling, please speak with us about your options for a tranquil visit.
