You may need a filling if:
- You observe visible holes or dark spots on a tooth
- There are visible chips or cracks in your teeth
- Your teeth are extremely sensitive to hot, cold, or sweet foods
- You feel sharp pain when biting down on the affected tooth
- You feel a constant dull pain or ache in a tooth
As part of our personalized care for you as our patient, we strive to ensure that you are as comfortable as possible when we are serving your dental needs.
Fillings do not have to be unpleasant – first we use a topical numbing gel to numb the gums, then we will numb the area of your mouth needing the filling to ensure that the restoration of your tooth is as painless as possible. We also offer laughing gas which provides a calming effect as well as analgesia.
