What Are Dental Fillings?
Dental fillings are used to repair small to moderate cavities caused by tooth decay. The filling restores the shape, strength, and function of the tooth while preventing bacteria from entering and causing further damage.
At BLOK Dental Studio, we primarily use composite (tooth-colored) fillings, which are a durable and aesthetic alternative to traditional silver (amalgam) fillings.
Signs You May Need a Dental Filling
- Tooth sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet foods
- Pain or discomfort when chewing
- Visible holes or dark spots on your teeth
- Chipped or worn-down teeth
- Food getting stuck in certain areas
If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, schedule an appointment today for an evaluation.

The Dental Filling Procedure at BLOK Dental Studio
Step 1: Dental Examination & X-Rays
Our dentists will examine your teeth and take digital X-rays to determine the extent of decay and the best treatment plan.
Learn more about our preventative dentistry services.
Step 2: Gentle Numbing & Tooth Preparation
We use local anesthesia to ensure a completely pain-free experience. The decayed portion of the tooth is carefully removed, leaving behind a clean, healthy surface.
Step 3: Filling Placement & Shaping
The chosen filling material is applied and carefully shaped to restore the natural contour of the tooth. Composite fillings are bonded and hardened using a special curing light.
Step 4: Final Adjustments & Polishing
Once the filling is in place, we make necessary bite adjustments and polish the tooth for a smooth, natural feel.
Total Treatment Time: 30–60 minutes per filling

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Fillings
Do dental fillings hurt?
No, the procedure is completely pain-free with local anesthesia. You may feel mild sensitivity afterward, but it typically resolves within a few days.
How long do composite fillings last?
Tooth-colored fillings last 7–10 years with proper care. Regular dental checkups help ensure their longevity.
Can I eat after getting a filling?
Yes, but avoid hard or sticky foods for the first 24 hours if you received a composite filling.
Can a cavity heal on its own without a filling?
No, once a cavity forms, it does not heal on its own. Without treatment, it will grow larger and may require a root canal or extraction.
Does insurance cover dental fillings?
Most dental insurance plans cover part or all of the cost of basic fillings. Our team can help verify your coverage before your appointment.
