The benefits of dental fillings

Prevents Further Decay

A well-placed filling seals off bacteria and prevents decay from spreading deeper into your tooth.

Preserves Your Tooth

We remove only the damaged portion, allowing you to keep the healthy structure of your natural tooth.

Long-Lasting Protection

Our Wilmington dental fillings are made with durable, high-quality materials that stand up to daily use.

Beautiful, Natural Results

Because we color-match your filling to your tooth, the result is nearly invisible — just a healthy, happy smile.

Common signs you might need a filling

Sensitivity or Pain

Does your tooth hurt with heat, cold, or sweets? It might be a cavity starting to form.

Visible Spots or Damage

Dark marks, cracks, or rough areas can point to enamel breakdown or decay.

Food Getting Stuck

If the same area traps food regularly, it may be due to a small cavity or surface irregularity.

Sharp or Uneven Edges

A chipped or worn-down area might feel rough — a filling can smooth and protect it.

A simple and comfortable dental filling process

1. Thorough Evaluation: Dr. Friberg examines your tooth, takes digital x-rays (if needed), and recommends the best solution.

2. Personalized Planning: We review your options together and answer your questions, no pressure, no surprises.

3. Gentle Treatment: The tooth is numbed, the decay is carefully removed, and a tooth-colored Wilmington dental filling is placed with precision.

4. Easy Aftercare: You’ll receive simple guidance to protect your filling and keep your smile healthy.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I need a filling?

If you feel pain when chewing, notice dark spots, or have sensitivity to temperature, a cavity could be forming. We’ll confirm with a gentle exam.

Will I feel anything during the procedure?

We take extra care to ensure your comfort. Your tooth and surrounding area will be numbed completely, so you won’t feel pain during the filling process.

Can I eat after getting a filling?

We just recommend waiting until the numbness fully wears off. Soft foods are a great choice for the first few hours.

Will the filling match my tooth?

Yes. Our Wilmington dental fillings use tooth-colored resin that blends beautifully with your natural enamel.

Can a filling prevent bigger issues?

Absolutely. Acting early with a filling can save your tooth from more serious treatment like a crown or root canal.
