Dental Fillings

Dental fillings restore the function and shape of a tooth that has been compromised by decay. When we place a filling in your tooth, we remove the decayed material, clean the damaged region, then fill the cavity with composite, natural-colored filling material.

Our Approach to Dental Fillings

Dental Fillings - Hamamoto Dentistry - Bothell WA Dentist
  • We use natural-colored composite material to fill any cavities, making it nearly invisible for other people to see
  • The damaged tooth structure will be removed until only a healthy tooth structure remains
  • Once the dental filling has been placed inside the tooth, it will be properly shaped, smoothed, and polished
  • Your bite will be adjusted until closing feels natural and you can floss between your teeth
  • We will also check to make sure that food will not be trapped between your teeth and your new dental filling
