Frequently Asked Questions

What are dental fillings used for?

Dental fillings restore teeth damaged by decay, cracks, or minor wear. They seal cavities, prevent further decay, and strengthen the tooth’s structure.

How do I know if I need a filling?
Common signs include sensitivity to hot or cold, visible holes, pain when chewing, or dark spots on your tooth. Our dentist confirms with an exam and X-rays.
Will getting a filling hurt?
Most patients experience minimal to no discomfort. Thomas Dental uses advanced anesthetics and gentle techniques to ensure a stress-free experience.
Can old or damaged fillings be replaced?
Yes. Worn or cracked fillings can be safely replaced to restore function and protect against future decay. We match replacement fillings for a seamless look.
Can children get dental fillings too?
Absolutely. Children often need fillings for cavities caused by sugar or plaque buildup. We use gentle, child-friendly techniques to keep them calm and comfortable throughout the visit.
How long does it take to get a dental filling?
Most fillings take about 30–60 minutes per tooth, depending on the cavity’s size and location. You can return to normal activities shortly after your visit.
Is there any special care needed after getting a filling?
Avoid eating until the anesthesia wears off, maintain daily brushing and flossing, and attend your routine cleanings. Avoid biting hard objects like ice or pens to prevent damage.
How does Thomas Dental ensure precise, comfortable fillings?
We use digital X-rays, modern bonding systems, and gentle local anesthesia. Our dentists customize each filling for natural fit, bite comfort, and long-lasting protection.
