Common Questions

White fillings vs silver fillings?

We primarily use tooth-colored composite fillings that blend naturally and bond securely to the tooth.

How long do fillings last?

Composite fillings typically last 5–10+ years with good care, depending on size and location.

Will I feel pain during a filling?

Local anesthesia keeps the procedure comfortable. You may feel vibration but not pain.
