Understanding the Dental Care

What Tooth Fillings Are

Tooth fillings are one of the most common and effective ways to treat cavities and restore a tooth's strength. When plaque and bacteria wear away enamel, they leave behind decay that can spread if not treated. A filling removes the damage and restores the tooth so it functions like new.

At Method Modern Dentistry in Alpharetta and Roswell, GA, Dr. Alex Franco uses advanced techniques and tooth-colored composite resin to create natural-looking results. The decayed area is gently cleaned out, then filled and shaped to match the rest of your tooth. The entire procedure is quick, minimally invasive, and usually done in one visit.

Quick steps before your treatment

Preparation for Your Tooth Filling

Preparing for a tooth filling is simple, but a little intentional prep makes the visit more comfortable and helps everything go smoothly. Before your appointment, notice what triggers the tooth, whether it reacts to cold drinks, aches when chewing, or feels rough throughout the day. These details help Dr. Alex Franco understand how the cavity behaves and what approach will feel best for you.

Eat before the visit, since numbing can make eating afterward awkward and slightly inconvenient. Keep the area clean by brushing gently so bacteria stay low and the tooth is ready for treatment. If you get anxious during dental work, let Dr. Alex Franco know so she can guide you through the process and help you stay fully relaxed.

Care tips after your filling

Aftercare for Your Tooth Filling

After your filling is placed, your tooth needs brief time to adjust to its new shape and bite, especially as sensation returns. Be careful with lingering numbness and avoid chewing on that side until full feeling returns to prevent accidental bites. Mild sensitivity to temperature or pressure is normal for a few days while the nerve settles. Once the numbing fades, check how the tooth feels, and if your bite seems uneven, a quick adjustment can fix everything comfortably.

Keep brushing and flossing, but stay gentle for a day or two as the tooth adapts. Avoid sticky or hard foods in the first 24 hours so the filling can settle fully and bond securely. With consistent care and routine visits, your filling should last and blend beautifully into your smile.

How do I know if I need a filling?

If you feel tooth pain, sharp edges, sensitivity to hot or cold, or see visible spots on your teeth, you may need a filling. Dr. Franco can check and confirm.

Do fillings hurt?

Not at all. We numb the area completely and keep you comfortable throughout. The procedure is quick, and most patients don’t feel a thing.

How long do fillings last?

Composite fillings usually last 5 to 10 years depending on your habits and oral hygiene. Dr. Franco checks them during your regular cleanings.

Will the filling match my tooth color?

Yes. We use high-quality composite resin that blends in naturally, so your filling is virtually invisible when you smile or talk.

Can you replace my old metal filling?

Absolutely. We can remove silver amalgam fillings and replace them with tooth-colored ones for a more natural and modern look.
