What are Dental Fillings?
Dental fillings are restorative treatments used to repair teeth damaged by cavities (tooth decay). We remove the decayed portion of the tooth and fill the space with a durable material that restores the tooth's shape, function, and appearance.
At Hub Dental, we use tooth-colored composite resin fillings that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. Unlike old-fashioned silver amalgam fillings, composite fillings are mercury-free, bond directly to your tooth structure, and require less removal of healthy tooth material. The result is a strong, natural-looking restoration that can last 7-10 years with proper care.

Benefits
The Process
Diagnosis
We examine your teeth and take X-rays to identify cavities. We explain which teeth need fillings and what to expect during treatment.
Numbing & Preparation
We apply local anesthesia to numb the area. Once you're comfortable, we remove the decayed portion of the tooth using precision instruments.
Filling Placement
We apply tooth-colored composite resin in layers, using a special light to harden each layer. The filling is shaped to match your natural tooth contours.
Final Polishing
We polish the filling to a smooth finish and check your bite to ensure proper alignment. The entire procedure typically takes 30-60 minutes.
