DENTAL FILLINGS

Dental Fillings in Missouri City, TX

Knowing you need a dental filling may be disheartening. At Lake Olympia Dental, we want our patients to know that dental fillings don’t have to be uncomfortable or unsightly. Your comfort and oral health is always our top concern during your visit. Plus, we can use tooth colored composite fillings for a seamless restoration with the rest of your natural teeth. By working hard to earn your trust, we can help you achieve a beautiful, healthy smile!

What are Dental Fillings?

A dental filling is a common procedure used to repair minor damage caused by cavities or fractures in the teeth. The material used for fillings can be either tooth-colored (composite resin) or silver amalgam. If you have a cavity, our dentist may recommend a dental filling to prevent further damage and restore the structure and appearance of your tooth.

Tooth Colored Composite Fillings

At Lake Olympia Dental, we use composite tooth colored fillings to restore teeth that have been damaged by decay. These white composite materials are made from BPA free plastic and glass particles and can be closely matched to the color of your natural teeth. Unlike traditional silver amalgam fillings which were commonly used in the past, composite resin fillings blend in with your smile for a more aesthetic look. Composite fillings provide patients with a long lasting seal against tooth decay, which can help to prevent more complex procedures like dental crowns or root canal therapy. We strive to use the best materials and techniques available to create beautiful, healthy smiles for our patients.

Dental Fillings Process

We strive to make the dental filling process as comfortable and efficient as possible. We begin by inspecting your teeth for decay and preparing the area around a cavity with an anesthetic. Then, we clean out the decayed portion of your tooth by removing any plaque or bacteria that may have caused the cavity in the first place. Once it is prepared, we will apply the filling material and use a special light to harden it in place. Finally, we will check your bite and adjust the dental filling as needed until you are completely satisfied with how it looks and feels. Our dentists always take the time to ensure your dental fillings provide optimal function and longevity.

HOW LONG DO FILLINGS TAKE?

Your time is valuable, and fortunately dental fillings are usually completed in a single day and take only around 30 minutes. We can perform more than one filling in a single day, or a convenient follow-up visit can also be arranged to complete the procedure with minimal disruption to your schedule.

patients have to say

I had such a great experience at this new dental office! Mia was so friendly and handled my X-rays with so much care. She made the whole process quick and comfortable. Dr. Dinh was incredibly thorough and gentle. He took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure I felt completely comfortable during my visit. Shannon explained the insurance coverage clearly and patiently, making everything so easy to understand.

Dr. Dinh and his staff were amazing and they made the office a very welcoming and safe environment. I came in for a check up and teeth cleaning and was able to get 2 teeth extracted the same day as well.

I was in serious discomfort and needed relief for my pain. Dr. Dinh was extremely professional and diagnosed my problem quickly. The procedure was done with professionalism and was painless. I would recommend Lake Olympia Dental and Dr. Dinh to anyone that's having teeth issues immediately.

Gregory

I decided to visit Lake Olympia Dental because the office is closew to home and I saw all the positive reviews, and I can see why! It was a seamless experience for being a new patient. Dr. Dinh and his staff were very personable, making sure you're at easy and having an enjoyable experience. They know their stuff and know how to make your visit smooth and efficient. The office is brand new, very clean and modern. My first time seeing a TV on the ceiling for patients to watch as you're getting your teeth cleaned. They also give you a warm face towel at the end to help freshen up. I sometimes forgot I was at the dentist.

Jacob

I scheduled an emergency appointment today due to severe tooth pain and was able to be seen the same day. The office staff were very friendly and efficient, and the facility was new and clean. I appreciated how quick, yet thorough, my visit was. Most of all, I'm grateful for their late office hours, which made it possible for me to come in during the evening.
