Dental Fillings

One of the most routine dental procedures, a filling is typically completed in a single appointment with local anesthesia. Patients leave with the decay removed and the tooth restored, often with little to no lingering sensitivity.

At Troy Meadows Dental, most dental filling appointments are completed in a single visit lasting 30–60 minutes, depending on the size and location of the cavity being restored.

Dental Fillings at Troy Meadows Dental may cause temporary sensitivity to temperature or pressure in the days following placement. Patients should avoid chewing on the treated side until any sensitivity subsides and maintain good oral hygiene to prevent new decay from forming around the restoration.

Dental filling recovery at Troy Meadows Dental is minimal, and most patients leave the appointment ready to resume their normal routine. Some mild temperature sensitivity or tenderness around the treated tooth is normal for a few days and typically resolves on its own without any additional treatment.
