Dental Fillings

composite, gold, and amalgam dental fillingsCavities have no place in your life. Dental fillings are a common, effective way to repair teeth damaged by cavities or injury. First, we remove the decayed part of the tooth, then place a filling. Then, our dentist cleans the tooth and fills the space with a special compound to seal it off.

We can relieve your tooth pain and fill cavities quickly, so you don’t need a root canal. Our dental filling procedure seals teeth and helps prevent infections from returning. Our dentists will create a strong shield to stop bacteria and infections. Learn more about cavity treatment on our Dental Fillings page.

Dental Cleanings

Good oral health care supports a good life. Regular cleanings are important for good oral health. Regular dental cleanings help prevent tooth decay by removing plaque and tartar. If not treated, this buildup can cause cavities and other dental problems.

During your cleaning, our dentist will also check for signs of gum disease and other oral health problems. We suggest getting dental cleanings every six months to keep your teeth and gums healthy over time.

Patient Review

I was needing a new dentist anyway, but ended up with a somewhat of an emergency. I went to Yelp and saw great reviews on Complete Dentistry. They worked me in the next morning, which was amazing. The office is in a convenient place and is really quite beautifully decorated. I was greeted immediately and completed the paper work. I was called back right on time, which is pretty unusual. Ina was very thorough with the assessment of my problem. She was very nice and personable. Dr Morgan Chambers was also very nice and offered a complete plan for my issue. She referred me to an Endodontist and then back to her with a step by step guide of the process. I am very pleased that I have found a new dentist! I feel very blessed to have found them.

General Dentistry FAQs

As your dentist in Lexington, KY, we’re here to answer your questions about general dentistry: 

Are Dental Fillings Painful?

Fillings are no more painful than other routine treatments. Before treatment, we will numb the area with a local anesthetic, so you won’t feel much while we work. After the filling, you may feel some soreness or sensitivity for one or two days. However, it usually goes away quickly.

If you’re worried about pain, talk to us so we can help you feel more comfortable.

What Treatments are Available for Tooth Sensitivity?

Dr. Chambers provides different treatments for sensitive teeth at our Lexington, KY, dental office. We can put a sealant on sensitive teeth with worn enamel to help protect them. Fluoride treatment is another routine treatment. We can apply a special fluoride gel to strengthen your teeth and reduce sensitivity.

We can also recommend sensitive-teeth toothpaste to help reduce pain signals. You can use this toothpaste at home as a part of your oral hygiene routine. In severe cases with a lot of pain, you might need a root canal to fix the issue inside the tooth.

Can You Stop Bleeding Gums?

Yes, you can help stop bleeding gums. First, brush your teeth twice a day, but do it gently to avoid hurting your gums. Floss before brushing to remove food and plaque between your teeth, which can reduce gum bleeding. An antibacterial mouthwash can also help keep your gums healthy.

Drink enough water daily and eat a balanced diet with fruits and vegetables to support your gum health. If your gums keep bleeding, you should see our dentist. She can check for gum disease or other issues.

How do I know when I need a Root Canal?

You might need a root canal if you have some of these signs:

  • A severe toothache that won’t go away
  • Tooth sensitivity when you eat hot or cold foods 
  • Swelling in your gums near the tooth
  • A tooth that looks darker than the others
  • Pain when you bite down on certain teeth

Are Regular Cleanings Enough to Keep My Teeth Healthy?

Regular dental cleanings can keep your teeth healthy, but they aren’t always enough on their own. Cleanings remove plaque and tartar that can cause cavities and gum disease. You also need to brush and floss at home every day. A balanced diet and plenty of water can also support your dental health.

Sometimes, your dentist may recommend extra treatments like fluoride or dental sealants for added protection. Regular cleanings are a big part of keeping your teeth healthy, but at-home care is just as essential.

Why Do Dentists Use White Fillings Now?

Dentists use white fillings, also called composite fillings, because they blend with your natural tooth color. This makes them almost invisible compared to older metal fillings. White fillings also bond better to the tooth, which helps protect and strengthen it.

Dentists can use white fillings on both front and back teeth, and they work well for small to medium-sized cavities. Many people prefer them because they don’t contain metals like silver fillings. Overall, white fillings look better and work well for most patients.

How Long Do Root Canals Take?

A root canal usually takes about 60 to 90 minutes. In some cases, we can complete it in one visit, but if the tooth is badly infected, it may take two visits. The time can vary depending on the tooth being treated and how serious the infection is. Our dentist will explain what to expect and whether you need more than one appointment. 

Why Do I Need a Dental Cleaning Twice a Year?

You need a dental cleaning twice a year to keep your teeth and gums healthy. Even if you brush and floss every day, plaque and tartar can still build up in hard-to-reach areas. Dental cleanings remove this buildup, which helps prevent cavities and gum disease.

Regular cleanings help our dentist find problems early, like tooth decay or gum issues. This way, they can treat them before they get worse. Getting your teeth cleaned twice a year is essential to keeping your smile healthy.
