About A Cavity?

Once you've developed a cavity, there’s no way to reverse it without the proper treatment in Eau Claire, such as a dental filling.

Dental fillings are the best way to treat most cavities. This treatment involves removing the decayed tooth material and replacing it with an inert, biocompatible material. This halts decay, strengthens the tooth, and prevents further complications like tooth infections. Contact us now to see if you need a filling in Eau Claire.

Natural, Realistic Restoration

Composite Fillings

Composite fillings, also called “tooth-colored” fillings, are made from a mixture of resin and glass particles. They look and feel very natural, and can be matched to your existing teeth. This makes them an excellent choice for fillings in front teeth, and for any situation where you’re concerned about the aesthetics of your dental restoration.

Durable, Long-Lasting Treatment

How It Works: The Dental Filling Process


‍

Wondering what to expect when you get a dental filling in Eau Claire? Here’s a brief overview of the dental filling process.

Step 1

Tooth Preparation

 To begin the process, your dentist will clean and numb your mouth. Then, he will use a dental drill to remove any decayed material from your cavity.

Step 2

Filling Placement

Once the inside of the cavity has been prepared, your dentist will apply a layer of filling material, hardening and shaping it to fill up the cavity.

Step 3

Bite Adjustments

After the cavity has been filled, your dentist will check your bite using a special type of paper, then trim and adjust the filling to ensure it fits into your bite properly.
