What Are Dental Fillings?

Dental fillings are used to restore teeth damaged by cavities, fractures, or wear. At our practice in Fairport, NY, we offer both traditional and composite resin fillings tailored to your needs. The process involves removing the damaged portion of your tooth and filling the space to restore its strength and function.

Signs You May Need a Dental Filling

  • Persistent tooth sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet foods
  • Pain when biting or chewing
  • Visible holes, cracks, or discoloration in your teeth
  • Food frequently getting stuck in certain areas

If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, schedule a dental exam to determine the best treatment.

Our Dental Filling Process

  1. Comprehensive Examination — Using advanced diagnostic tools, we assess your tooth's condition.
  2. Preparation — The affected area is gently cleaned and prepared for filling.
  3. Filling Placement — Composite resin is applied, shaped, and hardened for a seamless finish.
  4. Polishing and Final Checks — The filling is smoothed for comfort and bite accuracy.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Long Do Dental Fillings Last?

The lifespan of a dental filling depends on the material used and your oral hygiene. Composite fillings typically last 7–10 years or more with proper care.

Does Getting a Dental Filling Hurt?

Dr. Jonathan Adler uses gentle techniques and local anesthesia to ensure the procedure is virtually pain-free. Most patients report only minor sensitivity after the filling.

Can Children Get Dental Fillings?

Absolutely. Dental fillings are a common treatment for cavities in children. Our team ensures a comfortable and stress-free experience for young patients.

“Awesome office! Awesome dentist! Awesome staff!”

“I switched dental providers because of insurance policy needs and I am so incredibly happy!... Dr. Adler did a very comprehensive evaluation of my teeth ... never before completed to that level...and he spotted areas of concern that my former dentist never caught. I am almost 79 years old and I have never experienced a dentist of his competence and skill! I'd recommend him to everyone... young and old!!”
