Tooth Colored Dental Fillings in Woodbridge NJ

A cavity or small area of damage deserves a repair that restores function and blends with your smile. Lumen Dental offers tooth colored fillings in Woodbridge, with treatment based on the location of the damage, the health of the remaining tooth, and your bite. We explain whether a filling provides enough support or another restoration would be more appropriate.

A repair matched to the tooth

Composite filling material can be shaped directly in the tooth and selected to complement its appearance. The dentist removes affected tissue as needed, places the restoration, and checks the bite. Sensitivity or discomfort should be discussed during your assessment so the underlying cause can be evaluated.

When a tooth needs more than a filling

A larger damaged area may require broader protection. If a crown is recommended, our 3D scanning, digital design, and milling capabilities provide a pathway to a custom restoration. Ordinary composite fillings are placed directly; they do not require a milling machine. We choose the technique for the tooth, rather than using the same technology for every repair.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should all older metal fillings be replaced?

Not automatically. Your dentist evaluates the filling, the tooth around it, and any symptoms before recommending replacement.

Will I know the cost before treatment?

Ask our team for an estimate after the examination identifies the number and extent of the restorations needed. Insurance benefits and your responsibility depend on your plan.
