Dental Fillings in Fort Gibson, OK

Say Goodbye to Cavities — Without the Metal

Composite dental fillings are used to restore teeth that have been damaged by decay, minor fractures, or wear. Unlike traditional silver (amalgam) fillings, composite fillings are made from a tooth-colored resin that blends naturally with your smile.

Why patients across Fort Gibson and nearby areas prefer tooth-colored fillings:

• Natural appearance — no dark spots or metallic shine
  
• Strong and durable — built for everyday chewing
  
• Preserve more natural tooth structure
  
• Free from mercury and metal
  
• Quick and comfortable treatment
  

If you have a cavity, the sooner you fill it, the better — catching decay early prevents more complex problems like root canals or crowns.

What to Expect During a Filling Appointment

Getting a filling is one of the most common and easiest dental procedures — typically completed in just one visit.

Here’s what to expect:

1. Gentle Numbing
   We ensure you're completely comfortable with local anesthetic.
   
2. Decay Removal
   Dr. Hayley carefully removes the decayed or damaged portion of the tooth.
   
3. Tooth Preparation
   The area is cleaned and shaped to receive the filling.
   
4. Filling Placement
   We layer and cure the composite material for a secure, natural-looking result.
   
5. Polishing and Bite Adjustment
   We make sure your bite feels right and polish the filling to match your enamel.
   

Afterward, you can return to normal activities — most patients feel little to no discomfort.
