Cavities happen but fixing them doesn’t have to be stressful. At Sunrise Dental, we make getting a dental filling quick, easy, and comfortable. Whether you’ve got a small spot of decay or an old filling that needs replacing, we’ll get you smiling again in no time.
Why Dental Fillings Matter
Dental fillings are one of the most common, and most important, ways to restore and protect your teeth. Left untreated, small cavities can grow into bigger problems like infections or tooth loss. A filling seals the area, stops decay from spreading, and restores the strength and function of your tooth.
Stop Cavities in Their Tracks
Fillings prevent decay from spreading deeper into your tooth or to neighboring teeth, saving you from more complex treatments down the road.
Blend Right In
We use modern tooth-colored materials that match your natural teeth so no one will even know you had a filling.
Long-Lasting Protection
With good home care, a dental filling can protect your tooth for years, keeping your bite strong and your smile healthy.
