Tooth Fillings in Alpharetta, Milton, and Roswell, GA

Repair cavities and restore your tooth's strength with tooth-colored composite fillings that blend right in.

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, Milton, 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.

Who It's For

Is This Treatment Right for You

If you're experiencing sensitivity, visible damage, or have an old filling that feels off, it might be time for a new one.

  • New Cavity or Tooth Pain

    Treats decay early before it spreads or causes worse lasting damage

  • Hot or Cold Tooth Sensitivity

    Seals off exposed sensitive areas to protect against sharp discomfort

  • Cracked or Chipped Tooth

    Restores damaged enamel with a filling that protects and strengthens

  • Old Metal Filling Needs Replacing

    Upgrades outdated fillings to match your natural, bright, radiant smile

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.

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.
