Tooth Fillings in Montgomery, AL

If You’re Looking for Amalgam or Composite tooth fillings in Montgomery, AL, Call Woodmere Cosmetic and Family Dentistry.

There are many types of filling materials available, each with their own advantages and disadvantages. At our Montgomery, AL office, you and your dentist can discuss the best options for restoring your teeth. Fillings are often the first step in comprehensive restorative care, and pairing them with a dental exam and X-rays ensures we catch every area of concern before it worsens.

Composite fillings are the most widely used today. Because composite fillings are tooth-colored, they can be closely matched to the color of your existing teeth and are more aesthetically suited for use in front teeth or the more visible areas of the mouth. For patients who experience anxiety about dental procedures, we offer sedation dentistry to make your filling appointment completely stress-free.

Common reasons for tooth fillings:

  • Chipped teeth
  •                    
  • Closing space between two teeth
  •                    
  • Cracked or broken teeth
  •                    
  • Decayed teeth
  •                    
  • Worn teeth

If decay has progressed deeper into the tooth, a filling alone may not be sufficient. In those cases, our team may recommend a dental crown to fully protect and restore the tooth, or in more advanced situations, a root canal may be needed. We'll walk you through all your options clearly and without pressure so you can make the best decision for your smile.

Maintaining your fillings is simple, regular teeth cleanings and checkups at our Montgomery office help extend the life of your restorations and keep your mouth healthy long-term.

Tooth Filling FAQ

How long do tooth fillings last?

It depends on the material they’re made from and other factors, such as how well you take care of your teeth. Fillings can last many years if properly maintained with brushing, flossing, and regular dental checkups and X-rays. In general, tooth fillings tend to last 7–15 years.

How long does a tooth filling take?

A typical appointment for a single filling can be completed in an hour.  If you’re having multiple fillings or your specific restoration is more complicated it can take longer. Our team will give you a more direct timeline during your consultation.

What are tooth fillings made of?

You can have tooth fillings made from different materials, such as gold, silver amalgam, porcelain, and tooth-colored composite resin. Gold cast and silver amalgam fillings are highly noticeable, while tooth-colored composite resin fillings typically blend in with your natural teeth. Porcelain fillings usually keep their coloring for a longer period of time than composite resin, though, since they’re more stain resistant properties..
