DENTAL FILLINGS IN HONOLULU

Choose Dr. Sugiki for your dental filling

The purpose of a dental filling is to restore the natural tooth. A cavity is a decayed portion of the tooth that needs to be excavated and treated with a filling. This will help ensure stability and prevent further break down and fractures of the tooth. There are two types of fillings, composite resin (white fillings)and amalgam (silver fillings). Both have several benefits and your filling type will depend on the extent of decay, position of tooth in your mouth and cost. Amalgam fillings are made up of a mixture of metals and are exceptionally strong and durable. White fillings are composed of a BPA-free plastic that will be indistinguishable from your natural tooth. If you have a small cavity, do not be overly concerned, as Dr. Sugiki is highly trained and gentle, and here to ensure you your post-treatment smile is seamless.

Dental fillings can look as natural as your own teeth

A filling is a relatively easy treatment and our team is here to provide you with the utmost care. A dental filling usually begins with a local anesthetic so you are comfortable while the cavity part of the tooth is removed. Once the cavity is cleaned and the tooth is prepped, Dr. Sugiki will gently fill your tooth with amalgam or composite resin to restore your tooth to its natural state. There are circumstances where a white filling serves better, and vice versa. A detailed treatment plan will be discussed prior to any treatments rendered. It is our primary goal to maintain and restore your family’s dental health in a passionate, relaxing environment.
