To treat a cavity, your dentist will remove the decayed portion of the tooth and then “fill” the area on the tooth where the decay was. Fillings are also used to repair cracked, broken or injured teeth and teeth that have been worn down from nail-biting, tooth grinding or other misuse.
Teeth can be filled with white porcelain, silver amalgam or a white glass material called composite resin fillings. Your dentist’s recommendation helps determine the type of filling that will best address your needs. General considerations include the extent and location of the decay, the cost of the filling material, and your insurance coverage.
To maintain your fillings you should follow good oral hygiene practices and visit your dentist regularly for cleanings. Additionally, make sure to brush with a toothpaste containing fluoride, and floss at least once daily.
If your dentist suspects that a filling might be cracked, he or she will take x-rays to assess the situation. If your tooth is extremely sensitive, you feel a sharp edge, you notice a crack in the filling, or a piece of the filling is missing, call your dentist for an appointment.

First time visiting to get a cleaning. I had a comfortable and painless experience nothing like in previous offices I have been to. Luis is friendly and professional as well as Dr. Nicole, both are honest people and great professionals. I can’t recommend enough. The entire personal seems friendly as well. To be honest I have to mention the prices I was given for a regular simple filling is over $300 but they offer a Dental Plan that may cover some portion of the cost.
Have been going to MeadowLake Dental since Last year (2021) for me and my wife. I must say Dr Ryan has been excellent, he took care of our both tooth aches and other issues. Had a tooth in which I did RCT back in India but it was infected badly by cavities.He suggested RCT through Dr Belani which we did. And we did couple of sittings for fillings for other tooth’s cavities. My wife visits here for Dental cleanings. So far service has been great and the results are very satisfactory. Highly recommended Dr Ryan (MeadowLake Dental)!

I had a bad experience with a dentist. My husband and kids go to Dr. Ryan. They all convinced me to go to him, telling my how nice and professional him and his staff are. Finally decided to go in for a much over due cleaning. Sure enough they are fantastic. Just went in for a filling and small extraction and what a pleasant experience. Never thought I would say that about going to the dentist. So if your nervous or afraid of the dentist Meadowlakes is your place to go!
