Dental Fillings

Dr. Nickolas Felten offers tooth-colored dental fillings to repair cavities and restore damaged teeth in Maplewood.

What Is a Dental Filling?

A dental filling repairs a tooth affected by decay or minor damage, removing the compromised area and restoring the tooth’s shape and strength with a tooth-colored material. Composite fillings blend naturally with your smile, unlike older metal fillings, and most are completed comfortably in a single visit with local anesthesia.

Our Dental Filling Options

Tooth-Colored Composite Fillings

Shade-matched material that blends naturally with your surrounding teeth, unlike older metal fillings.

Cavity Treatment

Removes decay and restores the tooth before the problem spreads further or requires more invasive treatment.

Cracked Tooth Repair

Fillings can repair minor cracks or chips, restoring the tooth's strength and appearance.

Old Filling Replacement

Worn or discolored metal fillings can be replaced with a more natural-looking, tooth-colored material.

Same-Visit Comfort Care

Most fillings are completed in a single, comfortable visit with local anesthesia.

Preventing Future Decay

Treating a cavity promptly helps stop decay from spreading and reduces the risk of needing a root canal or extraction later.

The Importance of Dental Fillings

Addressing a cavity early keeps a small problem from becoming a much larger one. Stopping Decay in Its Tracks: A filling removes decayed material and seals the tooth, preventing the cavity from spreading further. Preserving Your Natural Tooth: Treating a cavity with a filling helps you avoid more invasive treatment, like a crown or root canal, down the road. A Natural, Discreet Result: Tooth-colored composite fillings blend in with your smile rather than standing out like older metal fillings.
