Dental Fillings

If left untreated, a cavity will not go away on its own. Eventually, you will need a root canal or even an extraction if tooth decay is not addressed right away. One of the most effective ways our dentists, Dr. Rachel Findlay, Dr. Spencer Pugmire, and Dr. Brian Clark, can address tooth decay is through the use of dental fillings in Roy, Utah. if you have a tooth that is giving you cause for concern, call Mildand Dental at 801-317-4407 to schedule your appointment.

A dental filling is a restoration used to repair minor to moderate tooth damage. We may recommend a filling if a tooth has been damaged by decay (for example, if it has a cavity), or if a tooth suffers from minor fracturing or chipping. The dental filling is used to restore the tooth to its original structure and function, and to return your smile to good health. There are two main types of dental fillings available: amalgam fillings and composite fillings.

The process for placing a filling requires just one comfortable visit to our office. Our dentists will first remove the decayed and damaged portion of the tooth, then clean it to remove all traces of decay. We then fill the area with the filling material and shape it to match your tooth’s shape. Finally, the filling is hardened for a lasting restoration.

If one of your teeth is decayed or damaged, a dental filling may be a great choice for restoring your oral health and function. We invite you to call or visit us today to learn more about dental fillings and to schedule your next appointment with our team. We look forward to caring for your smile!
