What Are Dental Fillings? Protect and Restore Your Teeth with Confidence

Dental fillings are used to repair teeth that have been damaged by decay, wear, or minor fractures. By removing the affected area and sealing it with a durable filling material, Dr. Jacklyn Maduro restores your tooth’s shape, strength, and function while preventing future decay.

At All Smiles Dentistry, we use high-quality, tooth-colored composite fillings that blend naturally with your enamel—offering both protection and a seamless aesthetic. Patients in Morristown and Morris County trust our office for precise, comfortable care that keeps their smiles healthy and beautiful.

Modern fillings not only repair cavities but also strengthen your tooth structure, ensuring long-lasting protection and a smooth, natural finish that feels completely comfortable.

The Dental Filling Process

The filling procedure is quick, gentle, and designed to protect your tooth while keeping you completely comfortable throughout your visit.

  • Examination and Diagnosis
    Dr. Maduro examines your teeth using X-rays and advanced diagnostic tools to identify areas of decay or damage.
  • Decay Removal
    The decayed portion of the tooth is carefully removed, and the area is cleaned to prepare for the filling material.
  • Composite Application
    Tooth-colored resin is applied in layers, shaped to match your natural contours, and hardened using a special curing light.
  • Shaping and Polishing
    Once hardened, the filling is adjusted and polished for a smooth finish that feels natural and looks flawless.
  • Final Evaluation
    Your bite is checked to ensure perfect alignment and comfort. The result is a restored tooth that looks and functions like new.

Caring for Your Dental Fillings

Proper care can help extend the life of your fillings and prevent future decay. With a good oral hygiene routine, your restored teeth can stay healthy and strong for many years.

  • Brush twice daily with a fluoride toothpaste
  • Floss carefully to keep the gumline clean and healthy
  • Avoid hard or sticky foods that can stress the filling
  • Visit regularly for cleanings and dental exams
  • Notify Dr. Maduro if you feel any sensitivity or roughness
