Dr. Fama the staff do a great job of explaining what kind issues I am having with my teeth, how best to treat them and what I can expect the cost will be before they do the work. Everyone is very nice! It was actually almost enjoyable when I got a root canal.

Protect Your Smile With a Dental Filling
Our skilled dentists understand the importance of treating cavities as soon as possible. That’s why we offer tooth filling services designed to restore your tooth’s health, strength, and appearance. Our caring dental team will provide you with a comfortable, stress-free experience when you need a tooth filling. We use the latest techniques and materials, including tooth-colored composite resin fillings, to provide you with the highest quality care.
Composite fillings offer several advantages over traditional metal fillings:
- They are custom-matched to the color of your natural teeth, ensuring a seamless, discreet appearance.
- They bond directly to your tooth structure, for a strong, stable restoration.
- They require less removal of healthy tooth structure, preserving more of your natural tooth.
- They are less sensitive to temperature changes, reducing post-treatment discomfort.
- They are free of mercury, making them a safer, more biocompatible option.
During your tooth filling appointment, our dentists will:
- Offer you nitrous oxide, if desired, to help you relax
- Numb the area around the affected tooth to ensure your comfort
- Remove any decayed or damaged tooth material
- Clean and prepare the cavity for the filling
- Place the filling and shape it to match your tooth’s contours
- Harden the composite resin using a special light
- Adjust and polish the filling for a smooth, comfortable fit

Common Questions About Tooth Fillings
White tooth fillings are made of composite resin, a blend of ceramic and plastic. Unlike amalgam fillings, which are made of a blend of metals, they can be matched to the color of your other teeth so they aren’t noticeable in your smile. They also cause fewer allergy issues than amalgam.
All dental fillings are safe for most patients. However, some studies have raised concerns about the long-term health impact of mercury, which is used in amalgam fillings. Both the FDA and the American Dental Association say mercury in fillings is safe. However, mercury isn’t a concern at all with our composite fillings.
Fillings prevent problems by keeping dental decay from turning into infection or causing gum disease. Though very rare, it’s possible to have an allergic reaction to materials used in fillings. This typically occurs in patients with known allergies. Though the small amount of mercury in amalgam fillings is safe, you may want to choose a composite filling if you have any concerns about the long-term effects of mercury.
