Prevent Bigger Problems

Dr. Platt uses advanced diagnostics, like infrared cavity detectors, to catch problems early. He'll treat them while they're still small. With dental fillings, you will:

  • Preserve Tooth Structure - Fillings stop the spread of decay. You avoid the need for more complex treatment later.
  • Prevent Further Damage - Treating small cavities early reduces the risk of cracks, pain, or deeper infection.
  • Support Oral Health - Tooth-colored fillings restore proper shape and function to your bite. You can chew and bite normally again.

We make your appointment feel easy and stress-free. You will leave with a smile that looks and feels better than ever.

Treat Tooth Decay

From diagnosis to the final polish, your visit is guided by precision tools and a team that truly cares. You can expect:

  • Thorough Exam - We begin with a thorough exam. Our team spots decay with advanced technology like handheld or digital X-rays and infrared cavity detection.
  • Comfort-First Prep - Once you're comfortable in the chair (with a blanket, pillow, or your favorite show on the room's TV if you'd like), we'll numb the area to ensure a painless procedure.
  • Decay Removal - Dr. Platt gently removes the decayed portion of the tooth. We keep as much healthy structure intact as possible.
  • Filling Placement - After the space is cleaned and prepared, your dentist places the filling and shapes it to match the contours of your bite. The material is then cured and polished.

Before you leave, we'll check your bite and make any needed adjustments. Your tooth filling in Rogers will feel completely natural when you chew and speak. Schedule your appointment today.

Common Questions About Tooth Fillings

How do I know if I need a filling?

Tooth sensitivity, visible pits, and pain when biting can all be signs that a filling is needed. Sometimes, cavities don't show any symptoms at all, which is why regular dental visits are important. During your exam, Dr. Platt will check for any areas of concern. He'll let you know if a filling can help protect your tooth and prevent further damage.

Will getting a filling hurt?

Not at all. We make comfort a top priority. The area will be thoroughly numbed before we begin. With gentle techniques, cozy amenities like blankets and TVs, and a team that truly cares about your experience, we'll help you feel relaxed from start to finish.

How long does a filling take?

Most fillings can be completed in just one visit, often in under an hour. The actual procedure is usually quite brief, especially when the cavity is small and caught early. We also use digital diagnostics and advanced technology to make the process more efficient and precise. We'll get you back to your day with minimal disruption and maximum comfort.
