Dental fillings are a common and effective treatment used to restore teeth that have been damaged by decay or minor fractures. Dr. Bennett Packard, Dr. Mark Walker and Dr. Matthew Dunn provide high-quality dental fillings in Yakima, Washington, that not only repair your teeth but also help prevent further decay and damage. Fillings are essential for maintaining the health and integrity of your teeth, allowing you to preserve your natural smile.

The Dental Filling Process

The process of receiving a dental filling is straightforward and comfortable. First, our dentists will carefully remove the decayed or damaged portion of your tooth. After ensuring that the area is clean and free of bacteria, the cavity is filled with a durable, tooth-colored material. At Creekside Dental, we use advanced composite resins that blend seamlessly with your natural tooth color, providing a discreet and aesthetically pleasing result. The material is then hardened using a special light, and the filling is shaped and polished to ensure a smooth and comfortable bite.

  

Benefits of Tooth-Colored Fillings

Tooth-colored fillings offer several advantages over traditional metal fillings. They provide a more natural appearance, as they match the color of your teeth, and they bond directly to the tooth structure, providing added strength. Additionally, composite fillings require less removal of healthy tooth material, preserving more of your natural tooth.
