Dental Fillings

Home » Dental Fillings

When tooth decay starts getting to work, it can eat away at our teeth.

These holes can become cavities, and if they are not treated they can go on to cause even more problems and health risks. With dental fillings in Sacramento, you have a fast and comfortable way to stop decay right in its tracks. Stonebrook Dental aims to be your first line of defense in fighting off tooth decay, delivering long-lasting fillings that can keep your smile at its best.

What are dental fillings and why are they important?

Dental fillings are material placed in the parts of a tooth eaten away by decay and bacteria. By cleaning out and sealing off the decaying part of the tooth, you can prevent the decay from continuing and eventually spreading. By treating signs of decay such as cavities early on, you can protect your teeth from the risk of infection or serious dental problems.

Can i wait to get a filling?

We know it can be tempting to put off dental treatment. Since cavities usually cause no pain when they first appear, many patients instead wait to get treatment. But if you wait until a tooth is in pain, then you might already be putting its health at risk. That is why we encourage patients to come in for regular checkups. During your routine visit, we can spot any cavities that are forming and treat them that same day in most cases. If it is time for your routine appointment, Stonebrook Dental is only a phone call away. Set up your appointment to give your teeth the love and care they deserve.

What is getting a filling like?

Stonebrook Dental focuses on providing dental fillings through a modern, sophisticated process that is both comfortable and effective. We are sure to conduct the treatment only once you are comfortable and the treatment area is numbed so you feel no pain at all. We start by clearing out the affected area, getting rid of any lingering bacteria or buildup that could cause future problems. Once the area is ready, we place the filling, using the material you chose and shaping it so that it does not stand out from the natural tooth.

You can even go back to eating and drinking as you normally would after treatment. However, your mouth can still be numb for a couple of hours, so we advise taking extra care not to accidentally bite your tongue or cheek. But other than that, there is no downtime or real recovery period for this routine dental procedure.

Patient Experiences That Redefine the Future of Stone Brook Dental

Absolutely love this place! So much so I spent out of pocket because they aren't contracted with my dental insurance through my job. It's well worth it, and I can't wait until open enrollment to switch my dental insurance plan to one they accept!

The front desk Preet (maybe I got that right) as well as Rose are amazing & my dental hygienist (can't remember her name but she's an older beautiful woman with short hair , gorgeous blue eyes & a fit looking body). Not to mention the main dentist there , he is absolutely a pleasure to be examined by!

All 10s across the board! Thanks Stonebrook dental, this chick right here loves yawl

Finding a dental practice that truly cares about you can be challenging, but everyone at Stonebrook Dental is exceptional. They help you maximize your insurance benefits, and the staff is both friendly and outstanding. I highly recommend Dr. Patel. Chris performed a filling in under 30 minutes—she is truly remarkable! Rose, one of the receptionists, is genuine and greets you every time with a big smile. Joyce did a deep cleaning of my gums, and let me tell you, she is passionate about keeping your gums as clean as new.

Discovering Stonebrook Dental has been one of the best experiences of my life. I've recommended them to my family and coworkers at Kaiser Permanente for their dental needs. Thank you for making my smile as beautiful as it can be!

Thank you Dr. Patel for going above and beyond. I appreciate Dr. Patels humility. Both front desk receptionist were busy so he sat down himself to schedule my next appointment, go over my treatment plan, and take down all necessary insurance information. I hope your humility takes you far in life.

I have been coming to Stonebrook for years and they do an excellent job with my teeth. Their hygienist Donna is the best and so is Dr. Patel and the other dentists. The front desk Rose and the whole staff always make me feel welcome and at ease.
