DENTAL FILLINGS

IN BUFFALO, NY

 

Dental fillings are often needed to address a cavity or damaged tooth. Buffalo General Dentistry is proud to provide patients with high-quality preventative, cosmetic, restorative, and general dentistry services in a warm, comfortable office setting. With more than 15 years of experience, Dr. Daniel Jammal is happy to offer his dental filling services to patients in Amherst and the neighboring communities of Buffalo, NY.

What are Dental Fillings?

If you’re experiencing constant toothaches or sensitivity to hot and cold foods, you may have a cavity. While cavities are frustrating to have, they’re also very common. Dr. Jammal and his team of dental professionals are happy to offer dental fillings to patients who have cavities or other damage to their teeth. A filling is a simple procedure in which a safe material is used to “fill in” the damaged area of the tooth to restore its appearance and function while restoring your comfort. If you’re unsure whether you have a cavity or need a filling, we encourage you to come in for a one-on-one appointment with Dr. Jammal. He’ll be happy to examine your teeth and develop a personalized treatment plan to help you achieve your happiest and healthiest smile. 

Which Type of Dental Filling is Best?

Dental fillings can come in many different materials including gold. That being said, Dr. Jammal and his team at Buffalo General Dentistry typically use composite resin fillings to restore the tooth after removing decay from a cavity. There are a multitude of benefits of using composite resin for dental fillings, including:

  • Bonds directly to the enamel of the tooth
  • Requires fewer alterations of the tooth structure
  • Blends in with the natural appearance of the tooth
  • Smaller than traditional gold or silver fillings
  • Allows most of the natural tooth to be preserved

Composite resin fillings allow for our patients to restore their beautiful smile without having traditional silver fillings distract from their natural smile. If you have additional questions about composite resin fillings, we encourage you to contact us at your convenience.

What Can I Expect During My Dental Filling?

Your dental filling will be performed by Dr. Daniel Jammal and his expert dental team in our comfortable office. Before your filling begins, a local anesthetic may be administered to your treatment area. Once numb, Dr. Jammal will carefully clear out any damaged and decayed portion of the tooth. He will then clean the cavity of the tooth thoroughly before filling it with a composite resin. The resin will be cured using a special light before the filling is complete and the patient can return to their normal daily activities.

How Much Do Dental Fillings Cost?

The cost of your dental fillings will vary depending on the extent of treatment needed to help you achieve your healthiest smile. The best way to find out how much your dental fillings will cost is to come in for a private appointment with Dr. Daniel Jammal. In addition to working with most insurance providers, we are happy to offer flexible financing options through CareCredit®, Proceed Finance, Cherry and an in-house Smile Club Loyalty Plan. 

Dr. Daniel Jammal and the dental professionals at Buffalo General Dentistry can’t wait to help you get the bright smile you deserve. With more than 15 years or experience, Dr. Jammal is proud to offer general, restorative, cosmetic, and general dental services to residents of Amherst and the neighboring communities of Buffalo, NY.

If you’re looking for a dentist who truly cares about their patients, I highly recommend Buffalo General Dentistry. From the moment you walk through the door, the entire staff treats you with the utmost respect, kindness, and compassion. You can tell they genuinely care about your comfort and your overall dental health not just getting you in and out the door. They take the time to thoroughly explain every treatment plan, review your options with complete transparency, and make sure you understand exactly what to expect. That level of honesty and attention is hard to find. Today I had to have a tooth extracted, and I can honestly say it was the best dental experience I’ve ever had. Dr. Jammal is incredibly gentle and has an amazing bedside manner. I’ve never had another dentist numb me with Novocaine the way he did. Usually when a dentist says..Just a little pinch. It’s not just a tiny pinch lol but!! With Dr. Jamal, that “tiny pinch” was actually just a tiny pinch. I barely felt it. Before I knew it, my tooth was out. The entire process was quick, smooth, and painless. Throughout the procedure, he constantly checked on me and made sure I was comfortable every step of the way. His dental hygienist was equally amazing so gentle, patient, and thorough. You can tell everyone on the team genuinely enjoys what they do. And his dental assistant brought such positive energy into the room! Her charisma and personality instantly made me feel more relaxed and comfortable. Dr. Jammal is clearly passionate about helping people achieve healthy, beautiful smiles, and it shows not only in the exceptional care he provides but also in the incredible team he has built around him. Every single person I interacted with was professional, caring, and all around absolutely wonderful. This includes the ladies at the front desk! :) I could go on and on about how great Dr. Jammal and the entire team at Buffalo General Dentistry are. My family has officially found our forever dental care home, and I couldn’t be happier. If you’re searching for a dental office that truly puts patients first, do yourself a favor and check out Buffalo General Dentistry. You will NOT be disappointed. I highly, highly recommend them!
