Stop Decay in Its Tracks With Austin Tooth Fillings

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.

If you need tooth fillings in Austin, you've come to the right place. Contact Serenity Dental today for an appointment.

I went in to Serenity dental to get a regular check up since I hadn’t been in a while. The ladies at the front desk, Ana and Bailey, greeted me with warm smiles and checked me in. Within 5 minutes I was on my way to the back to get checked out. To my dismay, they discovered 2 cavities. Dr. Nair was extremely friendly and suggested I come back and get them filled. She was transparent about pricing and procedure, which was relatively reasonable. Overall, it was as good as any experience at a dental office can be. I will be returning to Serenity Dental for all of my future dental procedures. 10/10

I just spent nearly four hours at Serenity Dental, and somehow it felt more like a mini-vacation than a dental appointment — that’s how exceptional this place is. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere truly lived up to the name Serenity. The environment is calming, beautifully maintained, and honestly unlike any dental office I’ve ever been to. Dr. Brinda Nair is in a league of her own. Her skill, patience, and attention to detail made even a long, complex visit feel effortless. She explained everything clearly, checked in throughout the procedure, and made sure I was comfortable the entire time. You can tell she genuinely cares about both the results and the patient experience. The staff deserves huge recognition as well — warm, attentive, and incredibly professional. They treat you like a person, not a chart, and that makes all the difference. If you’re looking for dental care that feels luxurious, peaceful, and truly patient-centered, this is the place. Four hours in this office felt like time well spent, and I left not only with great results but feeling relaxed — something I’ve never said after a dental appointment. Absolutely recommend Serenity Dental and Dr. Nair to anyone looking for top-tier care. don't grind when you see cuteness or else you'll need mouth guard

Great experience and explanation of my dental needs.

Dr. Nair and the staff at Serenity are wonderful. She is very thorough and really takes time to discuss treatment options. The cleanings are quick - in and out under an hour!

From start to finish the service was great. This was my first ever time seeing a dentist and getting dental work in all of my 33 years of life and I could do it again. My son also had an appointment. He had been traumatized by a recent, unrelated, hospital visit, and was unsure about seeing the dentist. He was hesitant at first, but Dr. Nair walked him through his dental appointment. He started off turning his body sideways to avoid making eye contact, but in the end he ended up laying back and listening, even responding to her questions at times. When it was my turn, I had Esmeralda as a hygienist. She walked me through the cleaning and was so reassuring and patient with me. With this being my first time ever seeing a dentist or getting dental work, I had no idea what to expect. There was a minimal amount of times I expressed discomfort and as soon as I did, she stopped immediately, applied more gel, then worked on another area until she discomforted area was for sure numb. Dr. Nair literally walked me through it. As soon as I heard the drill come on, I felt a little anxiety. As soon as the filling started, I hear her not only comforting me through it but also coaching and explaining things to the assistant who was helping her at the time. As soon as a major part was done, she offered to take a break so that I can gather myself. I told her that it was not what I expected and went so smoothly that I was ready to start the next part right away. It was over before I knew it. For my first dental appointment, this was not only thorough, but very comforting through the entire process. I don’t want to find a professional to help back home in the DFW, I am perfectly fine coming back to Dr. Nair’s office in the future.

If I could give 6 stars I would.. first and foremost I want to say thank you to Natalie, Bailey, and Anastasia for letting someone that hasn’t been to the dentist in 10 yrs that everything was going to be okay.. I was scared but put my scared level at 4/5 to look cool.. just a weird feeling...
If I could give 6 stars I would.. first and foremost I want to say thank you to Natalie, Bailey, and Anastasia for letting someone that hasn’t been to the dentist in 10 yrs that everything was going to be okay.. I was scared but put my scared level at 4/5 to look cool.. just a weird feeling going back to the dentist knowing you need work done.. Dr. Nair was great. There was no wait, she explained everything, and even helped understand how things would work in the two most important realms to me: financially and timeline. Thank you and I’ll be sure to tell anyone that needs dental work to go to Serenity Dental. I’m so sorry as well because I forgot the names of the two lovely ladies (one from Chicagoland) that did my fillings today. It was early and my mouth was numb so please don’t hold it against me!

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.
