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.

Highly recommend Serenity Dental! Grateful for Esme introducing me to Both Dr. Nair and Dr. Rao. They are the most caring and passionate dentists, I’ve ever met. Esme was amazing at my deep cleaning and has such skill in removing so much and made me feel so relaxed in her chair. She’s the best! I hadn’t been to a dentist in a couple of years and all of them really take the time to understand what makes you comfortable during the visit, they check in during care/treatment to ensure you’re comfortable and they offer such compassionate judgment-free treatment and make sure you understand what they are seeing. I needed a root canal and several cavities filled and even the referral process was a great experience and the continuum of care was top notch. I’ve been to several places and this is the first time I’ve felt this supported and informed about my own dental health! Empowered is how I left feeling. And I learned a waterpik is not a replacement for floss

If you're looking for a dentist who genuinely cares about your health and comfort, look no further than Dr. Nair and her amazing team. From the moment you step into the office, you’re welcomed by a friendly, warm atmosphere that instantly puts you at ease. Dr. Nair is not only extremely knowledgeable but also takes the time to explain everything clearly, making you feel confident and informed about your dental health. During my visit, Dr. Nair educated me on how my bite was causing excessive wear on my teeth, even leading to a chip in my front tooth. They did an iTero scan which was quick and easy thanks to Elisabeth the lead dental assistant. The scan provided a high-tech, visual image of everything Dr. Nair discussed, allowing me to see the wear patterns on my teeth and my bite alignment. She gave me personalized advice on how to prevent further damage and protect my smile, empowering me with the knowledge to take better care of my teeth. Esme, the dental hygienist, did a fantastic job with my cleaning. She was extremely gentle compared to other cleanings I’ve had in the past, and still very thorough. It was one of the most comfortable and detailed cleanings I’ve ever experienced. Every part of my experience, from the attentive staff to the state-of-the-art technology, made me feel like I was in the best hands possible. If you want a dentist who prioritizes your well-being, educates you along the way, and uses the latest technology, I highly recommend Dr. Nair. You won’t be disappointed!

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.
