DENTAL FILLINGS

• Topical anesthetic (gel) to numb the general area of treatment prior to placement of local anesthesia

• Decay removal from the affected teeth

• Tooth restoration using a composite resin filling material

• Bite check to make sure your teeth align comfortably and polish

The team at our practice will ensure you are comfortable before, during, and after your procedure, and will happily answer any questions you may have at any point. 

• Talk with your dentist and/or dental hygienist about your dental anxiety so they can explain what the procedure really entails and you know what to expect.

• Wear headphones during your appointment to help block out sounds. 

• Everyone’s pain threshold is different. Always ask for more numbing agents if experiencing pain or discomfort during the procedure.

• Ask about anti-anxiety medication. We offer patients anti-anxiety medication to help reduce dental anxiety during the appointment. 

• Bring someone you trust to your appointment to help provide comfort and reduce dental anxiety.
