Dental Fillings

Repair and Protect Your Teeth with Dental Fillings

Tooth decay is one of the most common dental issues, but it can be easily treated with a dental filling. At Hill Family Dental in Orem, UT, we provide high-quality, tooth-colored fillings to restore your teeth and prevent further damage.

What Are Dental Fillings?

Dental fillings are used to repair cavities and minor tooth damage caused by decay or wear. The decayed portion of the tooth is removed, and a durable filling material is used to restore its function and structure.

Types of Dental Fillings

• Composite Resin Fillings – Tooth-colored and blends seamlessly with natural teeth.
• Amalgam Fillings – Silver-colored, durable, and long-lasting.
• Gold Fillings – Highly durable and resistant to wear.
• Ceramic Fillings – Aesthetic and stain-resistant, ideal for visible teeth.

Benefits of Dental Fillings

• Prevents Further Decay – Stops cavities from worsening.
• Restores Tooth Function – Allows normal chewing and speaking.
• Natural Appearance – Tooth-colored fillings blend with surrounding teeth.
• Quick and Painless – The procedure is simple and minimally invasive.

The Dental Filling Process

1. Examination & Diagnosis – We check for cavities and assess the extent of decay.
2. Decay Removal – The affected portion of the tooth is carefully removed.
3. Filling Placement – The chosen filling material is applied and shaped.
4. Polishing & Adjustment – The filling is smoothed for a comfortable and natural feel.
