Repair Your Tooth With a Beautiful Filling

At Kona Coast Dental Care, we provide gentle, effective cavity treatment. Our team uses modern techniques to make your tooth filling experience comfortable and effective. Here’s what you can expect during your visit:

  • We examine your tooth and take digital X-rays.
  • We numb the area to ensure you’re comfortable.
  • Your dentist removes the decayed part of your tooth.
  • The area is cleaned to prepare for the filling.
  • The filling material is placed on your tooth.
  • Your dentist shapes and polishes the filling to match your other teeth.

We use tooth-colored composite resin for our fillings. This material looks natural and bonds directly to your tooth, making it less prone to cracking than metal fillings. It’s also mercury-free, which many patients prefer. Our advanced technology helps us provide better care. We use digital X-rays for clear images with less radiation exposure and a 3-D cone beam CT scanner when more detailed 3-D views of your teeth and jaw are needed.

Sometimes, tooth damage is too extensive for a simple filling. In these cases, we might recommend an inlay, onlay, or crown. These options provide more coverage and protection for severely damaged teeth.

Call us today at 808-329-8067 to get tooth fillings in Kailua-Kona. Don’t let tooth decay go untreated!

Common Questions About Tooth Fillings
What are white tooth fillings made of?

White fillings are made out of either composite resin, a blend of ceramic and plastic, or porcelain. We can match the color of these materials to your other teeth so they will look completely natural in your smile. Unlike amalgam (metal) fillings, white fillings don’t contain mercury. So they’re a good choice for patients who prefer to avoid mercury.

Which tooth fillings are safe?

All dental fillings are safe for most patients. However, some studies have raised concerns about the long-term health impact of mercury, which is used in amalgam fillings. Both the FDA and the American Dental Association say mercury in fillings is safe. However, mercury isn’t a concern at all with our composite fillings.

How long do tooth fillings last?

After your dentist places your new filling, you should expect it to last for several years without any problems. Composite fillings last an average of about five to seven years, although other factors do come into play, including which tooth has the filling and the types of foods you eat.
