Dental Filling Services in Powder Springs, GA

A dental filling is a restorative treatment used to repair a tooth damaged by decay, wear, or minor fractures. When left untreated, cavities can worsen over time, leading to more serious issues like tooth infection or the need for a root canal. By catching decay early and sealing it with a durable filling, we help prevent further damage and preserve your natural tooth structure.

At Esteem Dental Studio, we focus on composite cavity fillings, which are crafted from a resin material that blends naturally with your teeth. Patients appreciate their durability, esthetics, and ability to bond directly to the tooth.

We’ll recommend the best material based on your needs and preferences.

The cost of a tooth filling in Powder Springs depends on several factors, including the size of the cavity, the material used, and how many teeth require treatment. During your visit, we’ll provide a clear breakdown of expected costs.

At Esteem Dental Studio, we accept most major dental insurance plans and offer flexible payment options to make care accessible.

Yes, most PPO dental insurance plans cover a portion of cavity treatment under restorative benefits. Our team will help you verify your insurance coverage, explain your benefits, and answer any billing questions. We’re here to help you feel informed and confident about your care.

Common signs that you may need a dental cavity filling include:

• Sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet foods
• Visible holes or dark spots on a tooth
• Pain when chewing or biting down
• Throbbing or spontaneous discomfort

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, don’t delay—early treatment helps prevent more invasive procedures and protects your long-term oral health.

A high-quality composite dental filling can last between 7 to 10 years, depending on your oral hygiene habits, the location of the filling, and how much pressure it endures. During routine exams, our team will monitor your existing fillings and recommend replacement if needed.

Your comfort is our priority every step of the way. Here’s what to expect during your filling appointment:

• The tooth is numbed with local anesthetic
• Decay is carefully removed
• The area is cleaned and prepared
• Composite material is applied in layers
• The filling is shaped and cured with a special light
• We make final bite adjustments and polish the restoration

We’ll make sure you’re at ease and understand each step as we go.

Most tooth filling appointments at our Powder Springs office take about 30 to 60 minutes for a single filling. If multiple teeth require treatment, we may recommend a slightly longer visit or a second appointment to ensure the highest quality of care.

Yes, you can eat after your cavity filling, but we recommend waiting until the numbness wears off to avoid accidentally biting your cheek or tongue. Soft foods are best for the first few hours, and it’s a good idea to skip anything hard, sticky, or very hot for the rest of the day.

After your procedure, you might experience mild sensitivity, which should subside within a few days. To care for your new composite tooth filling:

• Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste
• Avoid hard or chewy foods for at least 24 hours
• Contact us if your bite feels off or discomfort persists

At Esteem Dental Studio, we provide personalized aftercare instructions and support your recovery every step of the way.
