Let’s restore the health of your teeth!
The Winning Smile Dental Group is always accepting new patients.
Do I Need a Filling?
Over 90% of adults will have a cavity at some point in their lives. Cavities are caused by a combination of factors, including the following:
- Bacteria in your mouth
- Plaque buildup
- Sugary drinks
- Frequent snacking
- Improper brushing and flossing
Left untreated, cavities can cause infection, pain, and tooth sensitivity, as well as tooth loss!
At The Winning Smile Dental Group, our dental fillings are customized to your mouth and built to last. We offer tooth-colored composite fillings to restore your tooth while maintaining its natural appearance. Most people can’t tell the tooth had any treatment at all!
3-Step Process for Fixing Cavities
Our composite dental fillings are a comfortable and personalized experience.
- We’ll gently numb your mouth with a local anesthetic to prevent discomfort during the filling.
- Your dentist will thoroughly clean out and remove decay from the tooth.
- Finally, your dentist will bond the tooth-colored filling directly to your tooth, restoring its natural look, durability, and function.

Questions About Fillings? We Can Help!
What does a cavity look like?
Cavities vary in appearance. Often, they appear as small holes, chips, or dark spots on your tooth. Others have a chalky appearance on the enamel of your tooth. Cavities can be very small or encompass the entire tooth surface. Routine cleanings and exams will ensure no cavity goes unnoticed!
Does a cavity go away on its own?
No. Once decay is present, it can’t be fixed on its own. However, with proper dental hygiene and care, you can keep the decay from spreading and getting worse.
Do all cavities need a filling?
If you are in pain or have an obvious cavity, a dental filling is usually necessary. However, it’s possible the decay has spread so far that a filling won’t be enough — you may need a crown, root canal, or extraction. If you have a very small cavity, your dentist may recommend keeping an eye on it for six months rather than immediately filling it.
Does getting a dental filling hurt?
No! A filling doesn’t affect the nerves of your tooth, so no nerves = no pain. To ensure your complete comfort, we’ll administer a numbing gel and local anesthetic before your treatment. Your mouth will feel numb for a few hours after the filling, but you’ll be back to normal in no time.
How long does a dental filling last?
A filling typically lasts anywhere from 7-20 years, depending on the location of the filling, the size of the filling, and your dental hygiene habits.
