If your child has minor to moderate tooth damage, our pediatric dentists may recommend a dental filling to repair and restore the tooth. Fillings are typically used to treat teeth damaged by cavities or by fracturing or chipping. They work by literally “filling in” the damaged tooth, restoring its structure and shape to return your child's smile to good health. Dental fillings are often an excellent choice for restoring damaged teeth, as they are more conservative than other treatment options and help preserve more of your child's natural tooth structure. Your child's filling will be made of a tooth-colored composite material that blends in with their smile.

A dental filling can usually be placed in just one visit. Our pediatric dentists will start by removing any damaged tooth material from your child's tooth, thoroughly cleaning the area to remove all traces of decay. The affected portion of the tooth is then filled with the composite material and shaped to match the tooth's natural contours. Our pediatric dentists will harden the filling with a curing light and polish it to provide a smooth, lasting restoration.
