Fillings
in Metro Detroit
A filling stops decay in its tracks and restores your tooth's natural shape and strength: usually completed in a single, comfortable visit.
What Are Fillings?
A filling treats a cavity by removing the decayed portion of a tooth and filling the space with a durable, tooth-colored material. It stops decay from spreading deeper into the tooth, restores your ability to chew comfortably, and blends naturally with your smile. Most fillings are completed in a single, straightforward visit.
Why Patients Choose Us for Fillings
Stops decay before it spreads
Treating a cavity early prevents the need for more extensive work like a root canal or crown later.
Tooth-colored, natural look
Modern fillings blend in with your surrounding teeth rather than standing out.
Usually done in one visit
Most fillings are numbed, prepped, and completed in a single appointment.
Restores comfortable chewing
Removes the sensitivity and discomfort that often comes with an untreated cavity.
What to Expect
Your dentist will numb the area, remove the decayed portion of the tooth, and fill the space with a durable, tooth-colored material, then shape and polish it to match your natural bite. Most fillings take well under an hour.
