Markington Dental Fillings

Protect Your Teeth with Fillings

At Markington Dental, we prioritize your complete oral health. Our dental practice offers top-quality, durable, and aesthetically pleasing tooth fillings. A dental filling effectively seals cavities, halting decay and protecting your tooth structure. While filling materials have evolved, their essential function remains unchanged.

New Fillings Look Better

Gone are the days of silver amalgam fillings, known for their mercury content, unattractive appearance, and occasional unreliability. Today’s advanced dental fillings are crafted from safe ceramic and resin composites, seamlessly blending with your natural teeth. These modern fillings can last significantly, typically ranging from 5 to 15 years, or even longer.

Dental Fillings Are Safe, Routine

Dental fluoride treatments are available in foam, varnish, or gel forms. Your dentist will apply it using a brush, swab, tray, or as a rinse.

The application process is quick. It's crucial not to rinse afterward, as the fluoride needs time to penetrate and absorb into your teeth. Therefore, you should avoid eating or drinking for 30 minutes post-treatment to ensure proper absorption.

Beyond this, no special care is required. You can resume your regular brushing and flossing routine.
