Gentle, Natural-Looking Tooth Repair
Cavities happen — even with great brushing and flossing. The good news? It doesn't have to be hard or stressful to fix them. Coeur d'Alene Dental Center offers comfortable, natural-looking dental fillings in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho to make your teeth stronger and keep your smile healthy.
Most people won't even know you had a cavity filled because we use materials that match the color of your teeth. Our team makes it easy and comforting to get your first cavity filled in Coeur d'Alene or to replace an old metal filling.
A filling is a quick and easy way to fix a tooth that has been damaged by decay or wear. After the decayed part of the tooth is cleaned out, the empty space is "filled" to bring back the tooth's shape, strength, and function.
We use composite fillings in our office. They are a strong, tooth-colored material that sticks tightly to your natural tooth. Composite blends in, so it looks like nothing was ever done, unlike old silver fillings. It's tough, dependable, and feels good when you bite down.
Patients often ask why we recommend tooth-colored fillings. The answer is simple: they protect your tooth and look completely natural. Here are a few advantages:
In short, a composite filling in Coeur d’Alene restores both health and confidence.

Most fillings can be done in one visit, which usually takes less than an hour. We numb the area lightly, take out the cavity, clean the space, and carefully layer in the composite material. We use a special light to harden the filling, and then we shape and polish it so that it looks and feels like part of your natural tooth.
Patients are often surprised at how fast and easy the process is. You will be able to chew, smile, and get back to your day right away after you leave the office.
Taking care of a filling is no different than caring for the rest of your teeth. Brush twice a day, floss daily, and keep up with your regular dental checkups. Fillings can last many years, but like anything else, they may eventually need replacement.
