Dental Fillings in
Ravenswood, Chicago

Why Choose Tooth-Colored Fillings?

Gone are the days of silver fillings. At pulp&dentin, we use composite resin fillings — durable, aesthetic restorations that match your natural tooth color.

Benefits include:

• Natural appearance — blends seamlessly with enamel
  
• Strong and durable for long-term protection
  
• Preserves more natural tooth structure
  
• Free from metal and mercury
  
• Restores comfort and function immediately
  

Your filling will look and feel just like the rest of your tooth — and most patients forget it’s even there.

The Dental Filling Process

1. Gentle Numbing: We use a local anesthetic to ensure complete comfort.
   
2. Decay Removal: Dr. Renieris carefully removes any damaged or decayed areas.
   
3. Tooth Preparation: The surface is cleaned and conditioned for bonding.
   
4. Composite Application: A tooth-colored resin is layered, shaped, and hardened with a special light.
   
5. Polishing: The filling is smoothed and adjusted for a comfortable bite.
   

You’ll leave your appointment with your tooth fully restored and your smile refreshed.

When to Get a Filling

If you’re experiencing any of the following, you may need a filling:

• Tooth sensitivity or pain
  
• Visible holes, chips, or dark spots
  
• Rough edges or worn surfaces
  
• Food frequently getting caught in a tooth
  

Dr. Renieris will evaluate your tooth and, if needed, recommend a filling or another solution like a dental crown or tooth repair.
