At SmileKare Dental, you have a choice in the type of dental filling you want.

This is a highly durable filling, often lasting a lifetime for some patients. Commonly referred to as “silver” fillings, dental amalgams are a long-used, trusted filling.

Fillings take no longer than an hour to complete. Composite resin fillings generally take a bit longer than other options, but they come with their own set of benefits. Local anesthesia is applied if necessary to numb the area so that you are comfortable throughout.
We will gladly help you decide what filling is recommended based on your needs and budget. For more information on dental fillings, please call our office at 773-782-6699.
