Patient Guide

Small repairs can prevent bigger problems.

Dental fillings are used when decay, small fractures, or worn areas have damaged part of a tooth but enough healthy structure remains. Treating the problem early can help avoid larger crowns, root canals, or extractions later.

Astra Dental uses tooth-colored filling materials when appropriate and checks the bite carefully so the repaired tooth feels comfortable.

Patients often appreciate that a filling visit is usually straightforward, but diagnosis is still important because not every dark spot or sensitivity needs the same treatment.

What We Evaluate

What we check before a filling

How We Plan

How filling treatment works

  1. Numb the area when needed for comfort.
  2. Remove decay or damaged tooth structure.
  3. Place tooth-colored material when appropriate.
  4. Shape and polish the restoration.
  5. Check the bite so chewing feels balanced.

Astra Dental Details

Dental Fillings in Stratford

Dental fillings are a common procedure used to treat cavities or tooth decay. Fillings are used to prevent minor decay from rapidly spreading bacteria into the tooth's pulp.

The procedure itself can take up to an hour, which makes it relatively quick. Local anesthesia is applied to numb the area so you are comfortable throughout the process.

We will gladly provide you with an exam to review if you need a dental filling. For more information, call our office at 203-551-9090.

Common Questions

Dental Fillings FAQ

Are fillings tooth-colored?

Many fillings are completed with tooth-colored composite material, depending on the clinical situation.

How do I know if I need a filling?

An exam and X-rays can reveal cavities or fractures before they become painful.

Can a cavity heal without a filling?

Very early enamel changes may be monitored or managed preventively, but once a cavity breaks into tooth structure, a filling is often needed.

Why might I need a crown instead of a filling?

If too much tooth is missing or cracked, a filling may not protect the tooth predictably. A crown may be stronger.
