The sooner you treat a cavity, the easier it is to fix. That’s why you want to visit us for regular checkups. If Dr. Gusfa spots decay, he can restore your smile easily with tooth fillings in Dearborn. When you treat dental problems in the early stages, you can:
Call 313-908-8409 for an appointment.
Dr. Gusfa will use dental fillings to restore strength to your tooth and prevent future decay. He typically recommends composite (or tooth-colored) filling material for treating cavities, especially in visible areas of your smile. You can expect numerous benefits from this material:
While composite fillings are often our first choice, Dr. Gusfa may recommend amalgam (silver) fillings in specific situations. They can be a reliable option for larger cavities in back teeth or for areas that require extra strength due to biting pressure. If amalgam is recommended, Dr. Gusfa will explain why it’s the most effective solution for your needs.
Call 313-908-8409 for tooth fillings in Dearborn. You can also schedule online.
You might need a filling if you have a cavity, visible tooth damage, or sensitivity to sweets, hot, or cold foods. Sometimes, cavities don’t cause symptoms at all. That is why regular checkups are so important. During your exam, Dr. Gusfa will check for early signs of decay and recommend a filling if necessary. By catching decay early, we can treat the tooth before it worsens.
No, the process of getting a filling is typically quick and comfortable. We use local anesthesia to numb the area so you won’t feel any pain during treatment. You may feel slight pressure while the decay is being removed, but discomfort is minimal. After the numbness wears off, you may have mild sensitivity for a day or two, but this usually resolves quickly.
With proper care, composite fillings can last several years. Their longevity depends on factors like your oral hygiene, bite pressure, and whether you grind your teeth. We’ll check your fillings during regular exams to ensure they’re still intact. Maintaining good brushing and flossing habits can help your fillings stay in excellent shape for years to come.
