Most cavity treatments can be completed in a single visit. We'll recommend the option that protects your tooth and looks natural.
Composite tooth-colored fillings
Composite fillings are designed to match the natural color of your teeth while restoring areas affected by decay. Benefits include a natural appearance, strength and durability, and preserving healthy tooth structure.
Replacement fillings
Old or damaged fillings may need replacement to restore protection and prevent further decay.
Early cavity treatment
Small cavities can often be treated with a simple filling before the decay progresses.
Deep cavity treatment
When decay reaches deeper layers of the tooth, additional treatment may be needed to protect the tooth and restore its health.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I have a cavity?
Common signs of a cavity include tooth sensitivity, pain when eating or drinking, visible dark spots on a tooth, bad breath, or discomfort when biting down. However, some cavities may not cause noticeable symptoms, which is why regular dental checkups are important for early detection.
Does getting a tooth filling hurt?
Most patients experience little to no discomfort during a filling procedure. Local anesthesia is typically used to numb the area being treated, ensuring a comfortable experience throughout the appointment.
How long does a tooth filling appointment take?
A standard filling appointment usually takes between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on the size and location of the cavity. Multiple cavities may require additional treatment time.
What types of fillings do you offer?
At Hebron Smiles, we primarily offer tooth-colored composite fillings that blend naturally with your smile while providing durable protection against further decay.
How long do tooth fillings last?
Composite fillings can last several years with proper care. Regular dental visits, good oral hygiene, and avoiding habits such as chewing ice can help extend the lifespan of your fillings.
What happens if a cavity is left untreated?
Untreated cavities can continue to grow and damage the tooth. Over time, the decay may reach the inner pulp, potentially leading to infection, severe pain, the need for root canal treatment, or even tooth loss.
