Repair Your Smile Discreetly With Metal-Free Fillings

At our office, we can rebuild your smile with tooth-colored fillings. Our fillings are made with composite resin instead of metal. While metal fillings do a great job restoring the function of your teeth, they can spoil your smile’s appearance. With our dental fillings, you don’t have to choose between a confident smile and eating what you love.

You should visit us if you notice any of these symptoms:

Brown, black, or white spots on your teeth
Visible holes in your teeth
Increased tooth sensitivity to hot, cold, and sweet foods or drinks
Pain when biting down with a tooth
Toothaches or spontaneous pain

Tooth decay is an incredibly common oral health issue. If it’s not treated, it can lead to other problems. Fortunately, we can fix them with our many restorative services. Dental crowns can fix cavities too large for fillings, and we can perform a root canal procedure if a tooth becomes infected.

Brushing, flossing, and getting regular dental cleanings and exams can reduce your risk of cavities. Even if you do these things, you have a relatively high probability of having tooth decay some day. If you do, you can turn to us to take care of your problem. With our sedation options, you can receive pain-free care to restore your tooth.

At Summit Dental, our team of professionals wants to keep your mouth healthy and your smile looking its best. Our tooth fillings in Hackensack are just one of the ways we can help you feel like smiling again. Call 201-366-7001 to make an appointment. You can also make an appointment online.

Common Questions About Tooth Fillings

Are tooth fillings painful?

We’ll make every effort to ensure that you have a pain-free tooth filling experience. Not only will we numb the area we’re working on, but you can also take your choice of relaxing sedation options to help ease your dental anxiety. We want your visit with us to be as comfortable as possible.

How long do tooth fillings last?

At Summit Dental, we use only tooth-colored composite resin fillings. In most cases, you can expect your new filling to last for a minimum of five to seven years, although they can sometimes last several years longer than that. The exact lifetime of your filling will depend on factors such as the types of foods you eat and your oral care regimen.

Which tooth fillings are safe?

All commonly used materials for tooth fillings are safe. While no definitive evidence has been found that metal fillings are harmful to humans, we prefer to remain on the conservative side when it comes to our patients’ health. That’s why we use only metal-free composite fillings that are made up of tiny particles of glass and plastic.

Can tooth fillings come out?

Yes, tooth fillings can occasionally come out. If a person tends to eat a lot of chewy, sticky, or hard foods and candies, their fillings can come out. If this happens to you, try to put the filling back in place if possible, then call our office as soon as you can so we can get you in and replace the filling.
