• Tooth-colored and natural-looking

• Placed with precision and minimal discomfort

“I was nervous about getting a filling, but Dr. Tewari made it completely painless. It looks like I never had a cavity to begin with.” — Philly Smiles Patient

Types of Fillings We Offer

At Philly Smiles, we primarily use composite (tooth-colored) fillings for their excellent aesthetics and strength. However, depending on the location of the tooth and your specific needs, we may also offer:

• Glass ionomer fillings (for lower-pressure areas or root surfaces)
  
  
• Replacement of old silver (amalgam) fillings for patients wanting a more natural look
  
  

We’ll always explain the options and recommend what’s best for your specific case.

Do I Need a Filling?

You might need a filling if you experience:

• Sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweets
  
  
• A visible hole or dark spot on a tooth
  
  
• Toothache or pressure when biting
  
  
• Worn-out or cracked existing fillings
  
  

We use digital X-rays and detailed intraoral exams to identify decay early, so treatment can be as conservative as possible.

Part of Your Total Oral Health Plan

A cavity is never “just a cavity.” At Philly Smiles, we view every restoration as part of your overall oral health plan. During your visit, we’ll also review your preventive care routine and discuss any other concerns.

We often combine fillings with:

• Dental Cleanings & Exams
  
  
• Same-Day Crowns for larger restorations
  
  
• Fluoride Treatments to help protect surrounding teeth
