High-Quality Dental Fillings at Layton Family Dental

Dental fillings are used to repair teeth that have been damaged by decay or trauma, restoring their natural function and appearance. Whether you're experiencing a toothache or have just been informed you have a cavity, our dental filling procedures are designed with your health and comfort in mind.

The process of receiving a dental filling at Layton Family Dental involves several key steps:

• Preparation: Dr. Layton will begin by numbing the affected area to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.
• Decay Removal: Any decay or damaged tooth material will be carefully removed.
• Tooth Restoration: The cavity will then be filled with a tooth-colored composite resin that blends seamlessly with your natural teeth.
• Finishing Touches: The filling is shaped and polished to match the contours of your tooth, restoring your smile to its natural look and function.

Tooth-colored fillings offer several benefits over traditional metal fillings:

• Aesthetics: They blend in with your natural teeth, maintaining the beauty of your smile.
• Durability: Made to withstand the forces of chewing, they provide a long-lasting solution.
• Health: By bonding directly to your tooth, they help to restore the majority of the tooth's original strength.

We understand that the idea of getting a dental filling can be daunting for some. That's why Dr. Layton and our team prioritize making the experience as painless and comfortable as possible. From the moment you step into our Fort Collins office, you'll be treated with the utmost care and respect. We also offer sedation options for patients who experience dental anxiety, ensuring everyone can receive the treatment they need without stress.
