What Are Dental Fillings?
Dental fillings are used to restore the structure of a tooth after damage from cavities or trauma. They help stop the progression of decay, seal the tooth, and protect it from further breakdown.
We use composite resin, a safe and durable tooth-colored material that chemically bonds to enamel and blends with your natural tooth. Composite fillings have replaced silver amalgam as the preferred material for patients who value both appearance and strength.
According to the CDC, over 90% of adults experience cavities in their lifetime, making fillings one of the most common—and essential—dental procedures.
Why Choose Dental Fillings?
Dental fillings offer cosmetic and functional benefits that make them the go-to option for many Coral Springs residents:
- Natural Appearance: The resin material is color-matched to blend perfectly with surrounding enamel for a seamless smile.
- Durable Bond: Composite fillings bond tightly to your tooth’s surface, creating a strong seal that helps prevent future decay.
- Minimal Drilling: Composite materials allow for more conservative preparation, preserving healthy tooth structure.
- Metal-Free: No mercury or metals involved—great for patients with sensitivities or concerns about amalgam.
Fillings can also be combined with treatments like veneers, onlays, or crowns for complete tooth restoration.

The Dental Filling Procedure
Step 1: Exam & Diagnosis
We start with a thorough exam using digital X-rays and, when needed, the iTero® Scanner. This allows us to detect early signs of decay—even between teeth.
Step 2: Tooth Preparation
The affected area is numbed, and decay is gently removed using minimally invasive techniques. We then clean and shape the cavity to prepare it for bonding.
Step 3: Composite Placement
Composite resin is applied in layers, each cured with a special light. The material is shaped to match the tooth’s original contours.
Step 4: Finishing Touches
The filling is polished and adjusted for a comfortable bite. Most patients return to regular activities immediately.
For nervous patients, we offer oral sedation or laughing gas to make the visit stress-free.
Long-Term Care for Fillings
To make your dental fillings last as long as possible—often 7 to 10 years or more—consistent oral hygiene and smart habits are essential. Here’s how to care for your fillings effectively:
- Brush and floss daily: Clean your teeth thoroughly every day to prevent plaque buildup around your fillings. Use a fluoride toothpaste to strengthen enamel and support overall oral health.
- Visit for routine teeth cleanings: Regular checkups help us monitor your fillings and catch any early signs of wear, damage, or decay around the restoration.
- Avoid chewing hard objects: Biting into ice, pens, or hard candies can crack or dislodge a filling, especially on molars.
- Wear a night guard: If you grind or clench your teeth (bruxism), a night guard protects both your natural enamel and your fillings from excessive pressure and damage.
- Use fluoride treatments as needed: We may recommend in-office fluoride to help strengthen your teeth and maintain healthy margins around the filling.
We also recommend sealants for kids and teens to help prevent decay before it starts—especially on molars where cavities are most common. Maintaining these routines is the key to long-term success and protecting your smile.
