What Are Dental Fillings?

Dental fillings are a restorative procedure that removes decayed parts of a tooth and restores its shape and function. Fillings are commonly needed in children due to early cavities caused by sugary diets, lack of brushing, or naturally deep grooves in their molars.

 

How Dental Fillings Help Your Child’s Smile Stay Healthy

  • Stop decay from spreading
  • Restore normal chewing function
  • Prevent future oral infections
  • Maintain space for adult teeth to come in properly

We use tooth-colored, BPA-free composite materials for a natural appearance and durability. These fillings are safe, aesthetic, and effective for kids of all ages.

 

Procedure Process

When your child comes in for a dental filling with Dr. Gibson, the process is quick, gentle, and centered on your child’s emotional and physical comfort.

  1. Examination & Digital X-Rays: We assess the cavities and location using state-of-the-art tools.
  2. Comfort First: We use child-friendly sedation options and numbing techniques as needed to ensure zero pain.
  3. Removal of Decay: Dr. Gibson gently removes the decayed tooth material using minimally invasive techniques.
  4. Tooth Restoration: A tooth-colored filling material fills and seals the tooth.
  5. Aftercare Instructions: We give parents easy tips to help the filling last and prevent new cavities.

Our bright, engaging treatment rooms and friendly staff keep children relaxed during every step of care.

Preventing Cavities Starts at Home

While we’re here for expert treatment, we believe in empowering families with tools to prevent cavities. After placing a filling, Dr. Gibson will review your child’s eating and diet habits to help minimize future decay.

 

We also recommend regular dental checkups and cleanings every six months and may suggest sealants or fluoride treatments for extra protection.

They were very quick to get us in. The hygienist that cleaned my sons teeth was very sweet and patient. The doctor came in as soon as the cleaning was over and was very informative. The entire staff was kind and polite. Overall, we are very happy with this office and staff.
