At Dentistry for Families, we specialize in restoring teeth with dental fillings, whether it's to treat cavities or repair cracked teeth. If you live in North Las Vegas, Sunrise Manor, or Nellis AFB, our experienced team is here to provide effective, long-lasting solutions using high-quality materials such as composite and amalgam.
What Are Dental Fillings?
Dental fillings are used to repair teeth that have been damaged by decay or minor fractures. At Dentistry for Families, we provide both composite (tooth-colored) and amalgam (silver) fillings depending on the location and extent of the damage. Our approach to general dentistry ensures that we use the best materials to restore your smile while protecting the structural integrity of your teeth.
Types of Dental Fillings We Offer
Composite Fillings
Composite fillings are an excellent option for patients who prefer a more natural appearance since they blend seamlessly with your tooth color. These fillings are especially useful for front teeth or visible areas of your smile. Composite fillings are part of our cosmetic dentistry solutions, offering both aesthetic appeal and functional durability.
Amalgam Fillings
For teeth that experience significant wear, such as molars, amalgam fillings provide a strong and long-lasting solution. These silver-colored fillings are highly durable and can withstand the pressure of chewing. If you’re considering replacing older fillings or need restorative work, our team will guide you through options available under our restorative dentistry services.
When Do You Need a Dental Filling?
Dental fillings are necessary when a tooth has decay, visible cavities, or minor fractures. Untreated cavities can worsen, potentially leading to the need for more extensive procedures like root canals or extractions. If you're experiencing sensitivity or notice visible holes in your teeth, schedule a consultation through our patient info page, where you can learn more about how we handle common dental issues. Additionally, we recommend regular dental cleanings to prevent decay before it progresses.
Benefits of Choosing Dentistry for Families for Dental Fillings

High-Quality Materials
We use the highest quality materials in all our dental fillings, ensuring that they last for many years. Whether it's composite for a natural look or amalgam for strength, you can trust us to restore your smile with precision and care.
Experienced Team
Our team has extensive experience in providing fillings for patients of all ages, including children’s dentistry services for younger patients who may need preventive treatments such as sealants or cavity fillings.
How to Care for Your Dental Filling
After your dental filling, maintaining good oral hygiene is key to extending the life of the restoration. Brush and floss daily, and avoid chewing hard foods on the newly filled tooth for a few days. If you experience sensitivity or pain after your procedure, contact us for a follow-up appointment. For long-term care, consider our preventative services to keep your teeth healthy and avoid future decay.
