Dental Fillings – Preserving and Restoring Your Smile

Even with proper brushing and flossing, cavities can still develop. At First Street Smiles, we provide high-quality, tooth-colored fillings to restore the health and function of your teeth while maintaining a natural appearance.

What Are Dental Fillings?

A dental filling is a treatment used to restore a tooth that has been damaged by decay. Dr. Obi will carefully evaluate your tooth to determine if a filling is necessary. The process involves removing the soft, decayed portion of the tooth and replacing it with a durable, tooth-colored resin material that blends seamlessly with your natural teeth.

Why Choose Tooth-Colored Fillings?

At First Street Smiles, we do not use silver (amalgam) fillings. Our tooth-colored resin fillings offer several benefits, including:

• A natural appearance that blends with your teeth.

• Strong, long-lasting durability.

• Preservation of more natural tooth structure.

• A safer, metal-free alternative to traditional fillings.

Our goal is to stop the spread of decay and restore your oral health, ensuring that your teeth remain strong and functional.

Dental Crowns – Strengthening and Protecting Your Teeth

When a tooth is too damaged or decayed for a filling, a dental crown may be the best solution. A dental crown is a custom restoration that fully covers a weakened or broken tooth, restoring its shape, size, and strength.

When Is a Dental Crown Needed?

A dental crown is recommended when:

• A tooth has severe decay that cannot be treated with a filling.

• A tooth is cracked, broken, or weakened.

• A large portion of the tooth needs to be removed and reinforced.

By using high-quality materials, Dr. Obi ensures that your dental crown provides long-lasting strength and a natural look, allowing you to chew, speak, and smile with confidence.
