At Bethesda Dental Associates, we take pride in using the highest quality dental filling materials that stand the test of time. Our fillings are meticulously crafted, restoring both the function and aesthetics of your teeth.
But more than building you a long-lasting smile, we build a long-lasting relationship with you. When you visit us for your cavity filling, you’ll also receive an exceptional oral health partnership that will last a lifetime.
While we can find decay during your cleanings and checkups, it’s crucial that you also know how to recognize the signs that you might need a cavity filling. Addressing decay early on can prevent further damage to your teeth and avoid more extensive dental work in the future.
For the tooth-filling procedure, we numb the affected area with local anesthesia. Our dentists then remove the decay and clean away any bacteria or debris. Next, we apply a tooth-colored composite filling material, which is hardened using a special light. Once the filling is in place, we shape it to fit your bite and polish it for a smooth finish.
Through this process, we prioritize your peace of mind. When you come to our Bethesda, MD, dental office, we verify that you feel safe and comfortable with the procedure. We can accommodate dental phobias, severe gag reflexes, and other needs. We’re also happy to go over dental filling costs and our financing, insurance, and in-house membership options.
How long fillings take can vary depending on the size and location of your cavity. On average, our Bethesda dentists can complete a straightforward filling in an hour or less. If you need multiple fillings or additional care, the appointment may take longer. Regardless, we ensure that the procedure is thorough, precise, and as comfortable as possible.
Moreover, taking the time for an hour-long appointment is worth it in the long run. As the Cleveland Clinic highlights, dental fillings can last for decades. Getting care now means your natural tooth is protected for years to come.
When decay strikes, Bethesda Dental Associates provides treatment that stands the test of time, using the latest techniques and high-quality materials. Plus, with our attentive care and comprehensive approach, you can trust us to safeguard your oral health for years to come. Schedule your visit today and start a lasting partnership for protecting your teeth.
