Dental Fillings in South Jordan

When a cavity is detected, a dental filling restores the tooth to its normal shape and function. At SoJo Dental, we use tooth-colored composite resin fillings that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.

Why Tooth-Colored Fillings?

• Natural appearance — matches your tooth color
• Mercury-free — safe composite resin material
• Bonds to tooth structure — strengthens the remaining tooth
• Less drilling — preserves more natural tooth structure than amalgam
• Versatile — repairs chips, cracks, and worn teeth in addition to cavities

The Filling Process

1. The decayed portion of the tooth is removed
2. The area is cleaned and prepared
3. Composite resin is applied in layers and shaped
4. A curing light hardens the material
5. The filling is polished for a smooth, natural finish

Most fillings are completed in a single, comfortable appointment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can dental fillings fall out over time?

Yes, fillings can wear down or loosen. Regular checkups help detect and correct issues early.

Are composite fillings as strong as amalgam?

Composite fillings are strong, especially for front or visible teeth, though amalgam may last longer in high-stress areas.

Do dental fillings affect sensitivity?

There is no strict limit, but multiple fillings may require staged appointments to ensure comfort and proper healing.
