A molar restored with a natural tooth-colored filling

The short answer

A filling repairs a cavity before it spreads. Ours are tooth-colored and mercury-free, so they match your tooth and bond to it and the repair is invisible. It's painless (you're fully numb) and usually done in one visit. At our office it's $150–$350 depending on the cavity's size.

The #1 question

Tooth-Colored vs Silver

We place only tooth-colored, mercury-free fillings. They look natural and remove less healthy tooth. Here's the honest difference.

Silver (amalgam)

Dark and visible, contains mercury, and removes more healthy tooth. We don't place these.

What we use Molar with an invisible tooth-colored composite filling

How a Filling Works

Painless, gentle, and usually done in a single visit.

Numb & remove decay

We fully numb the tooth and gently clean out the decay, so you feel nothing.

Place & bond

Tooth-colored composite is layered into the cavity and bonded, shade-matched to your tooth.

Shape & polish

We sculpt your bite and polish it smooth, and the repair disappears into your tooth.

Signs of a Cavity

If any of these sound familiar, get it checked. Small cavities are quick and cheap to fix.

Sensitivity to sweets, hot or cold

A twinge when you eat sugar, ice cream, or sip something hot or cold.

A visible spot or hole

A dark, white, or brown spot, a pit, or a rough edge your tongue keeps finding.

Pain or food trapping

An ache when biting down, or food that keeps getting stuck in one exact spot.

The earliest decay (a white spot, no hole yet) can sometimes be remineralized and watched before it ever needs drilling. Book a free check →

Why Early Is Cheaper

A cavity only grows. Every step you wait costs more tooth, more money, and more discomfort, so a filling is the smart place to stop.

Catch it
White spot (early decay), no hole yet. Often remineralized and simply watched. $0–$ low.
Smart stop
Filling, the cheap, conservative fix while it's small. About $150–$350.
Costlier
Onlay or crown, once the cavity is too big for a filling. See crowns ($900–$1,900+).
Much more
Root canal, once decay reaches the nerve. See root canal (~$2,100–$2,850 restored).
Worst case
Tooth loss, extraction, then an implant or bridge to replace it. The most expensive path of all.

Filling Questions, Answered

No. We fully numb the area first, so you don't feel the drilling. A modern filling is routinely pain-free. We can also use gentle, minimal-drill techniques and sedation if you're anxious.

At our office a tooth-colored filling is $150–$350 depending on how big the cavity is. With dental insurance, most basic fillings are covered 50–80%, often dropping your out-of-pocket to roughly $30–$175. We verify your exact benefits for free.

We place only tooth-colored, mercury-free composite fillings. They match your tooth, bond directly to it, and remove less healthy structure than old silver (amalgam) fillings. Amalgam is considered safe by the ADA and FDA for most people, but many patients prefer a metal-free, natural-looking result.

A tooth-colored composite filling typically lasts about 5–10 years, amalgam 10–15, and gold or ceramic 15+. Lifespan depends on the tooth, the size, and your bite and home care.

Mild sensitivity to hot, cold, or pressure for a few days to a few weeks is normal as the tooth settles. It usually fades on its own. If it lasts beyond a few weeks or hurts when you bite, call us, because the bite may need a quick adjustment.

The very earliest decay (a white spot in the enamel, with no hole yet) can sometimes be arrested and remineralized, and we'll watch it rather than drill. Once decay forms an actual cavity, it can't heal itself and needs a filling before it grows.

It only gets bigger and more expensive. A small cavity needs a simple filling; left alone it can grow into a crown, then a root canal, and eventually tooth loss. An early filling is the cheap, conservative fix.
