PERSONALIZED CARE IN SACRAMENTO
Evaluating cavities and existing fillings
A filling restores an area of a tooth after decay or damaged material is removed. Tooth-colored materials can blend with the surrounding tooth, while the shape of the restoration supports your bite. An examination helps determine whether a filling can provide an appropriate repair or a different restoration is needed.
Existing filling concerns
Ask about a lost, worn or damaged filling, including changes in your bite or sensitivity.
A comfortable bite
Review how the repaired tooth contacts the opposing teeth after treatment.
What determines the size of the repair?
Your examination looks at the affected tooth and the condition of any existing restoration. Ask where the problem is, what repair is proposed and whether the remaining tooth structure supports a filling. If a different treatment is recommended, ask why.
After a filling: questions to keep in mind
Follow your care instructions and ask when you can eat normally. Let the office know if your bite feels uneven or if discomfort persists or worsens. When booking an evaluation for an old filling, describe when you first noticed the change and whether the tooth has been painful.
Read about crowns for more extensive repairs or call about a lost filling with pain.

YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
Questions about tooth-colored fillings
Should I wait until a cavity hurts?
A cavity may not cause symptoms early on. Dental examinations help identify concerns before you notice pain.
Can every cavity be repaired with a filling?
No. Extensive decay or a weakened tooth may require a crown, root canal treatment or another approach.
What if my filling falls out?
Contact Dental Krafts for an evaluation. If you have pain, describe it when calling so the team can help with appointment timing.
Will insurance cover my filling?
Coverage and your share depend on the exact plan and services. Ask the team to review estimated benefits and any relevant limitations before treatment.
