Dental Fillings - Rosas Family Dentistry

Cavities are one of the most common problems that we see at Rosas Family Dentistry – practically everyone will have had at least one by the time they reach adulthood. Fortunately, cavities are easily treated. With dental fillings, our dentistry near you in Houston, TX, will be able to quickly restore health to your teeth and allow you to use them as normal again.

What is a Dental Filling?

A filling does just what its name implies – it fills in a space in a tooth. A number of different materials can be used for a filling, including amalgam, composite resin, glass ionomer, porcelain, and gold. Fillings are used to treat cavities; they are necessary because, after the decay has been removed from the tooth, the tooth structure will need to be replaced to restore the strength and functionality to it.

How are Dental Fillings Placed?

The procedure to have a tooth filled is very simple and can be completed in one appointment. Cavities are usually detected during routine exams, and they may be filled during the same visit, or your dentist may want to schedule another one. An x-ray may be needed to give your dentist a better look at how big the cavity is.

To fill a cavity, the tooth and the surrounding area will be numbed using a local anesthetic. Dr. Rosas at Rosas Family Dentistry will then remove the decayed tooth area using dental tools. The tooth will be cleaned of bacteria and debris before the filling material is placed. A common material used for fillings is composite resin because it is affordable and can easily be colored to match the neighboring teeth, which means that it will produce a natural-looking restoration. The material will be applied in layers, with each layer being hardened with a UV light before the next layer is applied. Doing this will help strengthen the filling. Once all the layers have been placed and hardened, your dentist will trim off the excess material and polish the filling so that it looks more natural.

If you have been affected by a cavity, there’s no need to worry. With dental fillings in Houston, TX, you’ll soon have the function and appearance restored to your tooth.

Dr. Rosas and staff provide exceptional service and truly care for their patients. I have recently moved to the area and had seen my prior dentist for 20 years. My family highly recommended Dr. Rosa and based on my first time visit I will be recommending others to her too. Dr. Rosa uses state of the art equipment and besides being an incredible professional, she is very personable. It’s not often you find a exemplary professional that has a fabulous personality!

Dr. Rosas and her staff are very professional as well as understanding and caring. After not seeing a dentist for awhile due to Dr. Lake's retirement and then the pandemic, some of my teeth ended up with a few issues. Dr. Rosas was able to explain what all of my issues were, why the issues had happened and what needed to be done to fix them within a reasonable timeframe. Thank you so much!

We are in the middle of addressing a problem that we found on a routine cleaning, and I have every confidence that it will turn out fine.
