What Our Patients Say

Tooth Fillings You Can Trust

A cavity is the most common dental problem there is — but it does not have to be a big appointment. Louis B. Sachs D.D.S. places comfortable, natural-looking tooth-colored fillings in a single visit. Most fillings take 30 to 45 minutes from start to finish, and patients eat normally the same day.

We use modern composite materials that bond directly to the tooth, preserving more of your natural structure than older metal fillings ever could.

Why Composite (Tooth-Colored) Fillings?

We exclusively place composite fillings because they offer real advantages over old-style amalgam:

  • Invisible — matched to the exact shade of your natural tooth
  • Conservative — bonds directly to the tooth, less drilling required
  • Mercury-free — uses safe dental resin and ceramic particles
  • Strong — modern composites hold up well to normal biting forces
  • Repairable — chips or wear can be touched up without redoing the whole filling

What to Expect During a Filling Appointment

A typical filling visit is short and comfortable:

  1. Numbing — gentle local anesthesia in just the area being treated.
  2. Decay removal — only the decayed tooth structure is removed.
  3. Bonding and shaping — composite is layered in and cured with a curing light.
  4. Bite check and polish — we adjust until biting feels exactly normal.
Most patients return to normal eating within an hour of the appointment.

Tooth Fillings FAQs

A single tooth-colored filling typically takes 30–45 minutes. Multiple fillings in one visit are common and can save you trips.

Yes. Local anesthesia is used so you do not feel the procedure. Numbness typically wears off within 1–2 hours.

Composite fillings typically last 7–10 years, sometimes longer with good hygiene and a soft diet. Larger fillings on heavily used back teeth may eventually be replaced with crowns or onlays.

Composite fillings are fully cured and hardened immediately — you can eat as soon as the numbness wears off. Avoid extremely hot or cold foods for the first few hours.

Cost depends on the size and location of the filling. Most dental insurance plans cover composite fillings at the same rate as silver — contact your provider for the specifics of your plan. We provide a clear estimate before treatment.

Old fillings should be replaced when they are cracked, leaking, or showing decay underneath. Replacement for purely cosmetic reasons is a personal choice — Dr. Sachs will give you an honest evaluation.
