When Do You Need a Dental Filling?

A dental filling is a restoration used to repair minor to moderate tooth damage. We may recommend a filling if a tooth has been damaged by decay (for example, if it has a cavity), or if a tooth suffers from minor fracturing or chipping. The dental filling is used to restore the tooth to its original structure and function, and to return your smile to good health. There are two main types of dental fillings available: amalgam fillings and composite fillings.

The process for placing a filling requires just one comfortable visit to our office. Our cosmetic dentist will first remove the decayed and damaged portion of the tooth, then clean it to remove all traces of decay. We then fill the area with the filling material and shape it to match your tooth’s shape. Finally, the filling is hardened for a lasting restoration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does getting a dental filling hurt?

At Scheer Dentistry, your comfort is our top priority. We use localized numbing agents and advanced, computer-assisted delivery systems to ensure you don’t feel pain during the procedure. Most patients describe the sensation as simple pressure rather than sharp discomfort. Once the numbness wears off, you may experience minor sensitivity for a day or two, but this is normal and temporary.

Why is my tooth sensitive to cold after a new filling?

It is very common for a tooth to be sensitive to temperature changes for a few days following a procedure. The process of removing decay can temporarily irritate the nerve inside the tooth. If the sensitivity persists for more than two weeks or if it feels like your "bite" is off, a simple adjustment at our office can usually resolve the issue.

Do I have to get a filling if the cavity doesn't hurt?

Yes. Cavities often do not cause pain until they have reached the sensitive inner pulp or nerve of the tooth. By the time it hurts, you may require a more invasive and expensive treatment like a root canal or an extraction. Treating a "silent" cavity early with a simple filling saves both your tooth and your wallet.
