Dental Fillings

Smile Design Modern Dentistry – Family & Cosmetic Dentistry offers dental fillings to repair cavities and cracked teeth when the damage is not extensive enough to merit a dental crown. If you have experienced an injured or decayed tooth, we encourage you to come see our dentist, Dr. Erfan Imeni, for a dental filling in Durham, North Carolina. Call 919-220-5505 today to coordinate your visit with our team.

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 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.

If one of your teeth is decayed or damaged, a dental filling may be a great choice for restoring your oral health and function. We invite you to call or visit us today to learn more about dental fillings and to schedule your next appointment with our team. We look forward to caring for your smile!
