Dental Fillings in Elgin, TX

Look Natural

Our tooth-colored composite fillings are custom-matched to your existing tooth color, making them virtually invisible when you smile or speak. Unlike metal fillings, composite restorations blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.

Preserve Tooth Structure

Composite fillings require less removal of healthy tooth structure than traditional amalgam fillings. This conservative approach helps maintain the strength and integrity of your natural teeth.

Bond Directly to Teeth

These modern materials chemically bond directly to your tooth structure, providing excellent support and helping to prevent cracks that can occur with metal fillings that expand and contract with temperature changes.

Contain No Mercury

For health-conscious Elgin residents, our composite fillings offer peace of mind as they contain no mercury or other metals that have raised concerns for some patients.

The Filling Process at Spring St. Dental

When you visit us from Elgin for a dental filling, you can expect a comfortable, efficient experience:

Comprehensive Examination

Using advanced digital imaging technology, we thoroughly examine your teeth to determine the extent of decay and develop a precise treatment plan.

Comfortable Treatment

We ensure your comfort throughout the procedure with effective local anesthesia and amenities to help you relax. Many Elgin patients are surprised at how quick and painless modern filling procedures can be.

Precise Placement

Our dentists carefully remove the decayed portion of your tooth and clean the area before applying the composite material in layers, shaping it to match your natural tooth contours.

Final Adjustments

After hardening the filling with a special light, we make any necessary adjustments to ensure your bite feels natural and comfortable.

Common signs that Elgin residents might need a dental filling include:

• Tooth sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet foods and beverages
• Visible holes or dark spots on teeth
• Pain when biting or chewing
• Food frequently getting caught between certain teeth
• Rough edges you can feel with your tongue

However, many cavities develop without noticeable symptoms, which is why regular dental checkups at Spring St. Dental are essential for early detection and treatment.

Beyond Traditional Fillings: CEREC Same-Day Restorations

For Elgin patients with larger areas of decay that exceed what a standard filling can address, Spring St. Dental offers advanced CEREC same-day technology. This innovative system allows us to create custom ceramic inlays, onlays, or crowns in a single visit—no temporary restorations or return appointments needed.

The CEREC process uses digital scanning technology instead of uncomfortable impression materials, creating precise, durable restorations that fit perfectly and look completely natural.

Preventing Future Cavities

After restoring your smile with a filling, we partner with Elgin patients to prevent future decay through:

• Personalized oral hygiene instruction
• Professional fluoride treatments
• Preventive dental sealants when appropriate
• Regular professional cleanings
• Nutritional guidance for cavity prevention
