Stop Decay in Its Tracks With Austin Tooth Fillings

Experience comfortable, efficient cavity repair with tooth-colored fillings from Serenity Dental. Our gentle approach ensures your treatment is comfortable, while our composite materials blend perfectly with your natural teeth. You'll leave our office with a restored tooth that looks and functions just like nature intended - with no visible signs of dental work.

Our Austin tooth fillings offer you many benefits. The composite material bonds directly to your tooth, providing excellent support while requiring less drilling than metal fillings. This preserves more of your healthy tooth structure and prevents the temperature sensitivity often associated with metal fillings. Our tooth-colored options are durable, mercury-free, and virtually undetectable.

Repair Your Cavity & Smile Brighter

Getting a tooth-colored filling at Serenity Dental is straightforward and comfortable.

First, we numb the area with local anesthesia to minimize discomfort. Next, your dentist carefully removes the decayed portion of your tooth and cleans the space. We then apply the composite material in layers, shaping it to match your natural tooth structure.

Finally, we use a special light to harden the material before polishing it to blend seamlessly with your surrounding teeth.

For very small areas of decay, we can use our advanced dental laser instead of traditional drilling. This precise technology can remove early decay without the noise or vibration of a drill and, in many cases, without the need for numbing.

The laser also sterilizes as it works, promoting better healing and reducing the chance of future decay. This conservative approach helps preserve more of your natural tooth structure.

Enjoy Maximum Comfort During Your Treatment

We take extra steps to ensure your tooth filling procedure is as comfortable as possible.

If you have dental anxiety, you can receive inhaled sedation that helps you reach a state of relaxation while remaining fully conscious. This gentle sedation option works quickly, wears off rapidly after treatment, and is safe for patients of all ages - even children. You'll feel calm and at ease throughout your dental filling treatment.

Your physical comfort matters just as much as your emotional well-being. Our treatment rooms feature thoughtful amenities that transform standard dental care into a soothing experience. Soft pillows support your head and neck, cozy blankets keep you warm, headphones let you enjoy calming music, and protective glasses shield your eyes.

These simple touches create a pleasant environment that helps you feel at home.

Frequently Asked Questions About Tooth Fillings

How long do tooth-colored fillings last?
Composite fillings typically last five to seven years with proper care. Their longevity depends on the filling's size, location, and your oral hygiene habits. Regular brushing, flossing, and dental checkups help extend their lifespan. Avoid chewing hard objects like ice or using your teeth as tools to prevent damage.
How long does a filling take to complete?
A typical filling appointment takes 30-60 minutes, depending on the number and complexity of fillings needed. Simple, single-surface fillings may take as little as 20 minutes, while larger fillings might require up to an hour. We'll provide a time estimate during your examination.
Why get tooth-colored fillings over metal ones?
Tooth-colored fillings blend naturally with your teeth, making them virtually invisible. They require less removal of healthy tooth structure and bond directly to your tooth, providing excellent support. Unlike metal fillings, they don't expand or contract with temperature changes, reducing the risk of cracks.
