Fillings by Dental Arts Group Caring Doctors

At Dental Arts Group, we understand the importance of a healthy and confident smile. Traditional filling materials were visible, but newer fillings include ceramic and plastic compounds (resins) that mimic the look of your natural teeth. Resins can be used on any teeth but are excellent for front teeth where a natural look is important. With over 30 years of experience, we are a trusted and reputable practice that always welcomes new patients. Located in Johnston, RI. Call us today to get started.

Choosing Appropriate Filling Materials

Durability, longevity, and expense are often factors that will influence your choice of filling material. Other factors are:

• Amount of tooth structure remaining
• Where and how the filling is placed
• Chewing load the tooth will bear
• Length and number of visits necessary to prepare and adjust the tooth

There are two basic types of fillings:

• Direct fillings: Require one visit to apply, include glass ionomers, resin ionomers and composite (resin) fillings.
• Indirect Fillings: Generally require two or more visits. These include inlays, veneers, crowns, bridges made with gold, base metal alloys, ceramics, or composites. The dentist will make an impression of the area on the first visit and place a temporary covering on the tooth. The dental restoration is created using the impression and is cemented into the prepared location.

If you have tooth pain and think you may need a filling, don't hesitate to reach out to us at Dental Arts Group.
