At Cramer Dental, we use high-quality composite fillings to restore decayed or damaged teeth. These fillings are tooth-colored and can blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, providing both functionality and aesthetics.
Our skilled dental team can help you achieve a healthy smile by selecting the appropriate filling material based on your unique dental needs and preferences.
Types and Benefits of Composite Fillings
Composite fillings are a blend of resin and glass, allowing us to match the color of your natural teeth. This provides a discreet look while supporting the remaining tooth structure, protecting against further damage and sensitivity to temperature changes.
When a Filling Comes Loose
A filling can come loose due to factors like teeth grinding, chewing hard foods, or decay. If this happens, contact us immediately for a replacement. In the meantime, protect the exposed tooth to prevent sensitivity or infection.
Replacement and Lifespan of Fillings
Fillings may last between 5 to 30 years, depending on materials used and oral hygiene. Gold fillings can last up to 30 years, while composite fillings last about 5 to 15 years. Regular dental visits and proper care will help maximize the lifespan of your fillings.
Protecting Your Tooth Until We Replace the Filling
If a filling falls out, keep the area clean by gently brushing and rinsing with salt water. You can use dental wax or temporary filling material as a short-term solution. Prompt replacement is essential to prevent decay and further damage.
Contact Cramer Dental at (484) 370-4010 to schedule an appointment if you need a new filling or have a loose one. We are here to help you maintain a healthy smile.
amazing testimonials
“I went to Cramer Dentals today because I have a broken tooth after root canal procedure because I didn’t go back on time for a crown. Dr Cramer and her staff were great! Tiffany worked on me with doctor Cramer and she’s so great with her job! I have nothing but compliments for them! The office was neat and not crowded and I felt relaxed the whole time I was there. Can’t wait to go back for my permanent crown.” - Nijay C.

“Dr. Cramer and staff are super nice. The dentist isn’t my favorite place to go, but the atmosphere is friendly and non-judgmental. The appointments always start timely, I’ve really never had to wait long even when arriving a little earlier than my appointment time. The staff are great at ensuring you understand the information given during your appointment and they are great at answering any questions. I personally love this office and am glad I made the switch to Dr. Cramer.” - Ashley S.
