FAQs About Dental Fillings
You may need a dental filling if you have a cavity, a small chip, sensitivity, or visible wear on a tooth. Dr. Ali will assess the tooth and explain whether a filling is the right treatment.
Most fillings are completed with local numbing so the tooth is comfortable during treatment. Our team will check in with you and guide you through each step.
Many filling appointments are completed in one visit. The time needed depends on the size, location, and number of teeth being treated.
Brush, floss, attend regular dental visits, and avoid using your teeth to bite hard objects. If you grind or clench your teeth, Dr. Ali may recommend additional protection.
