Cosmetic Dentistry

Dental fillings are one of the most common and effective ways to treat tooth decay and minor damage while preserving as much of your natural tooth as possible. At Artistic Dentistry, dental fillings are placed with precision and care to stop decay, strengthen the tooth, and restore a smooth, comfortable bite. Early treatment with fillings helps prevent more serious dental issues and keeps your smile healthy long term. When a cavity forms, bacteria weaken the tooth structure and can lead to pain, sensitivity, or infection if left untreated. Dental fillings remove the damaged portion of the tooth and seal the area to prevent further decay. Modern materials allow fillings to closely match the color of your natural teeth, making them discreet and visually appealing. This means your tooth looks natural while regaining its strength and function. Patients from Creve Coeur, St. Louis, Maryland Heights, Ladue, Chesterfield, and Olivette often choose composite fillings because they blend seamlessly with surrounding teeth. These fillings bond directly to the tooth, providing excellent durability and support. They are ideal for both front and back teeth and can often be placed in a single visit. Comfort is a priority throughout the filling process. The procedure is straightforward and efficient, with careful attention given to minimizing discomfort. Once completed, your filling allows you to chew comfortably and protects the tooth from future damage. Dental fillings are a simple yet powerful way to maintain your oral health and avoid more complex treatments down the road.
