dental fillings in Fairfax

There are many types of filling materials available, each with their own advantages and disadvantages. At our Fairfax, VA office you and your dentist can discuss the best options for restoring your teeth.

Composite fillings are the most widely used today. Because composite fillings are tooth colored, they can be closely matched to the color of existing tooth and are more aesthetically suited for use in front teeth or the more visible areas of the tooth.

Common reasons for tooth fillings:

  • Chipped teeth
  • Closing space between two teeth
  • Cracked or broken teeth
  • Decayed teeth
  • Worn teeth

How We Can Alleviate Your TMJ Pain:

Mouth Guards

Mouth guards are an essential protective appliance for those with Temporomandibular Joint Disorders (TMJ/TMD). These specially designed guards not only protect teeth from impact injuries but also provide crucial cushioning to reduce trauma to the mouth, teeth, and jaw - areas particularly sensitive in TMJ/TMD patients.

Night Guards

For patients who experience bruxism, or teeth grinding, our team at Lowes Island Dentistry in Sterling, VA encourages you to be fitted for a night guard. Night guards, or bite guards, help to protect your teeth from crushing and grinding of teeth by providing a protective layer between your teeth.

Botox for TMJ

Botox injections can provide relief for those suffering from temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder by relaxing the overactive muscles around the jaw joint. When the muscles are too tense, it can cause pain, teeth grinding, jaw clicking, and limited jaw mobility. Botox works by temporarily weakening these muscle contractions, alleviating compression on the TMJ and reducing associated symptoms like headaches, jaw pain, and lockjaw.

Tooth Filling FAQ

Check out these frequently asked questions, or call us to speak with our team.

How long do tooth fillings last?

It depends on the material they’re made from and other factors, such as how well you take care of your teeth. Fillings can last for many years if properly cared for with brushing, flossing and regular routine dental check ups with XRs. In general, though, tooth fillings tend to last 7-15 years.

How long does a tooth filling take?

A typical appointment for a single filling can be completed in an hour. If you’re having multiple fillings or your specific restoration is more complicated it can take longer. Consult with your dentist to get more direct timing for your procedure.

What are tooth fillings made of?

You can have tooth fillings made from different materials, such as gold, silver amalgam, porcelain, and tooth-colored composite resin. Gold cast and silver amalgam fillings are highly noticeable, while tooth-colored composite resin fillings typically blend in with your natural teeth. Porcelain fillings usually keep their coloring for a longer period of time than composite resin, though, since they’re more stain resistant.
