Dental fillings are used to repair cavities, cracks, or worn-down teeth. They seal the area where decay has been removed, restoring both strength and function while preventing further damage.

At Sparkle Dental, we use tooth-colored composite fillings that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth—no metal, no shine, just a healthy-looking smile.

You may need a filling if you:

• Have a cavity caused by tooth decay

• Notice tooth sensitivity or pain when chewing

• Have a cracked or chipped tooth

• See dark spots or holes on the surface of a tooth

• Have worn-down teeth from grinding

1. Diagnosis – We detect decay with a clinical exam and digital X-rays.

2. Decay Removal – The damaged area of the tooth is gently removed.

3. Tooth Preparation – The space is cleaned and prepped for filling.

4. Filling Placement – A composite resin is placed, shaped, and hardened with a curing light.

5. Polishing & Bite Check – The filling is smoothed and checked for comfort.

The entire process is typically quick and completed in a single visit.

• Natural-looking results that match your teeth

• Durable and long-lasting with proper care

• Free from mercury or metal

• Quick and comfortable procedure

Q: Do fillings hurt?
A: Most patients feel little to no discomfort during the procedure. We use local anesthetic to keep you comfortable throughout.

Q: How long do fillings last?
A: Composite fillings typically last 5–10 years, depending on oral hygiene and chewing habits.

Q: Can I eat after getting a filling?
A: You can eat as soon as the numbness wears off, usually within a few hours. Avoid sticky or hard foods right away.

Q: What if I don’t get a filling?
A: Untreated cavities can lead to larger decay, infection, or the need for a root canal or extraction.

Our gentle and precise approach to fillings ensures that your teeth stay strong, functional, and beautiful. Schedule an appointment today and let us take care of decay—before it becomes a bigger problem.
