Dental Fillings in Hialeah, FL

In Hialeah, FL, dental fillings are a routine procedure aimed at restoring the health and functionality of teeth affected by cavities or damage. When decay forms a cavity, our dentist meticulously removes it and fills the void with a material that resembles the appearance and strength of natural teeth. This method is not limited to cavities; it’s also an effective way to repair chips or breaks in teeth.

Once the decay is removed, the chosen filling material is carefully placed into the cleaned-out cavity. Our dentist then skillfully shapes this material to mirror the tooth’s original form, ensuring it blends seamlessly with your natural teeth, preserving your smile’s aesthetic. A specialized “blue light” is used to quickly harden the filling, which is then fine-tuned and polished to finalize the restoration, maintaining the tooth’s natural look and function.

Types of Dental Fillings Offered:

• Amalgam Fillings: Known for their durability, these silver fillings are less preferred due to potential discomfort and their visible difference from natural tooth color.
• Gold Fillings:Celebrated for their longevity, gold fillings can last decades but are a pricier option, making them a less frequent choice for patients.
• Composite Fillings: These are popular for their ability to match the tooth’s color, making them an aesthetically pleasing option. However, they may wear down over time and can stain, mimicking natural tooth behavior.
• Porcelain Fillings: Also known as inlays or onlays, porcelain fillings are crafted in a lab and bonded to the tooth. They offer a color match to your existing teeth and are priced similarly to gold fillings.
