Fillings

Dental fillings are undoubtedly one of the most common, foundational, and essential procedures we perform daily. When a tooth sustains a cavity—caused when acidic plaque bacteria eat away at the hard outer enamel—removing that active decay and tightly sealing the space is absolutely necessary to stop the cavity from reaching the highly sensitive nerve inside.

If cavities are ignored, they will continuously grow deeper, eventually resulting in severe pain, infection, and the need for a much more complex root canal or full extraction. Catching and filling a cavity early is the key to minimizing pain and preserving your natural smile.

At Dr. Muller Dentistry, we are proud to be a modern, mercury-free practice. We exclusively utilize advanced, tooth-colored composite resin materials for all our fillings. Not only do these highly aesthetic fillings blend seamlessly with the natural shade of your teeth, but they also chemically bond directly to the tooth structure. This bonding provides phenomenal strength and durability, reinforcing the tooth from the inside out without the dark, metallic appearance of traditional amalgam.
