A filling is a way to restore a tooth damaged by decay back to its normal function and shape. When we give you a filling, we first remove the decayed tooth material, clean the affected area, and then fill the cleaned-out cavity with a filling material.
By closing off spaces where bacteria can enter, a filling also helps prevent further decay. Materials used for fillings include porcelain, a composite resin (tooth-colored fillings), and an amalgam (a metal alloy such as silver).
Before filling the cavity, we will first remove the decay and clean the affected area. The cleaned-out cavity will then be filled with one of the below mentioned materials.
No one type of filling is best for everyone. What’s right for you will be determined by the extent of the repair, whether you have allergies to certain materials, where in your mouth the filling is needed, and the cost. Considerations for different materials include:
If decay or a fracture has damaged a large portion of the tooth, a crown, or cap, may be recommended. Decay that has reached the nerve may be treated in two ways: through root canal therapy (in which nerve damaged nerve is removed) or through a procedure called pulp capping (which attempts to keep the nerve alive).

I really enjoyed my visit to the dentist. I haven't been in years but I must say it was an amazing experience. Everyone there treats you like family and they also take their time explaining what they will do before they start and thru the process. I have a lot more work to be done but I trust that I'm in the right hands! ?Thanks Amores
My husband has been going to this office for years. I am not a fan of dentists and have stayed away for years. I had to have a tooth extracted and they got me in quicker than ANY dentists I could find in like a 20 mile radius. I had the most positive experience with all the staff from the first phone call until I walked out the door from my appointment. All of the staff is very friendly, Dr. Rivera has an AWESOME bedside manner from start to finish. The entire time she was working on me she asked me how I was doing, if I had any pain, if I needed anything.Most dental offices I had been to in the past were all about selling me x,y, and z. They actually made me feel like they cared about me and focused on the health of my teeth. I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone needing a dentist!
It's been a while since I've gone to the dentist. Just thinking of going to the dentist makes me nervous, especially since it's been a long time coming. I decided to go on Yelp and find a good dentist in my area. I am so glad I bumped into Amores Dental Care, while doing my research. Just reading the rave reviews I had to go and get my teeth checked with them. I made sure they took my insurance and surely enough they did. As a new patient, I was not disappointed at all. Great experience overall. Dr. Amores and his staff are kind and professional. Great customer care on their end, no doubt. The hygienist Albert was awesome. He makes you understand thoroughly on the procedures that will be done. I got a deep cleaning with him and he puts on relaxing music to alleviate any nervousness you might feel. And surely I was nervous but with his assurance everything came out smoothly.I am glad I found this place and now I can officially say I am no longer scared of going to the dentist lol.Highly recommend to everyone.
