Restorative Dentistry
We place tooth-colored fillings only, never new silver ones. For larger areas of decay, inlays and onlays restore the tooth with a custom piece made to fit it.
Cavities often cause no symptoms at first, which is why checkups and X-rays matter. See us if you notice:
Overview
A filling repairs a small or medium cavity: Dr. Jordon Green removes the decay and fills the space with tooth-colored composite, shaped to the tooth and matched to its shade. When the decay or damage is too large for a filling but the tooth doesn't need a full crown, an inlay (which fits within the chewing surface) or an onlay (which also covers one or more of the tooth's points, or cusps) is custom-made to fit. We don't place new silver (amalgam) fillings.

Request an appointmentComposite resin that repairs small and medium cavities and blends in with your tooth.
A custom restoration that fits within the chewing surface of a back tooth when decay is too large for a filling.
Like an inlay, but it also covers one or more cusps, restoring more of the chewing surface without a full crown.
The process
An exam and digital X-rays show where the decay is and how deep it goes.
With the tooth numb, Dr. Green removes the decay and places a tooth-colored filling, or prepares the tooth for an inlay or onlay.
The restoration is shaped and polished, and your bite is checked so it feels natural.

Questions
Don't see your question? The front desk is glad to help.
If an old silver filling is worn, cracked or has decay around it, we can replace it with a tooth-colored filling, inlay or onlay. We don't place new silver fillings.
