Dental Fillings
Restore decayed or damaged teeth with tooth-colored composite fillings that blend naturally.
A filling restores a tooth that has been damaged by decay or a small fracture. Tooth-colored composite material replaces the lost structure and blends in with the rest of the tooth.
Dr. Luciano Retana removes the decayed area, prepares the tooth, and places the composite in layers, shaping it to match your bite before curing it in place at the Boulder practice.
A filling stops decay from spreading and rebuilds the tooth so it looks and functions naturally. Caught early, the filling stays small and the tooth stays strong.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about dental fillings.
Fillings are for anyone with a cavity or a small area of damaged tooth. They're one of the most common ways to restore a tooth before a problem grows.
The decayed area is gently cleaned out and filled with a tooth-colored composite that's shaped and polished to match the rest of your tooth. The area is numbed so you stay comfortable.
A single filling is usually done in one short visit, often under an hour.
Tooth-colored composite blends in naturally, so fillings aren't noticeable. Catching decay early keeps the filling small and the tooth stronger.
There's essentially no downtime. You may notice brief sensitivity, and you can eat normally once any numbness wears off.
