Fillings

Is a Cavity Causing you discomfort?

Don't let tooth decay ruin your smile! At Lakewood Family Dental in Anderson, IN, we offer effective dental fillings to restore your teeth to their former glory.

What are Dental Fillings?

Dental fillings are a common way to repair teeth damaged by cavities. It's like patching a hole in your tooth! We'll carefully remove the decayed part and fill it with a strong material that matches your natural teeth.

We offer different types of fillings (Optional) :

  • Amalgam fillings: These sturdy silver fillings have been around for years.
  • Composite fillings: These tooth-colored fillings blend in beautifully with your smile.
  • Gold fillings: Known for their durability, gold fillings are a classic choice.
  • Ceramic fillings: These porcelain fillings offer a natural look and are very strong.

Your dentist will recommend the best option based on your needs and preferences.

Signs You Need a Dental Filling

Think you might have a cavity? Look out for these signs:

  • Tooth sensitivity to hot or cold foods
  • Visible holes or dark spots on your teeth
  • Pain when biting
  • Bad breath
  • If you notice any of these, it's time to visit us for a check-up. Catching a cavity early makes treatment much easier.

The Dental Filling Procedure

Don't worry, getting a filling is no big deal! We'll make sure you're comfortable with local anesthesia. Then, we'll gently remove the decay and fill the cavity. You'll be surprised how quickly it's done!

Dental Filling Aftercare

Taking care of your new filling is important. Here's what you can do:

  • Brush and floss regularly.
  • Avoid biting hard objects.
  • Come in for regular check-ups.
  • Bad breath

    • You might feel a little sensitivity right after, but it should go away soon. If it doesn't, give us a call.

Dr. Gussert is the nicest dentist I've ever met! He even did the cleaning himself due to being short staffed, I've never met a dentist who's willing to do cleanings (and he was very efficient and thorough) I've been turned away at many others when they couldn't keep a hygienist - which is a part of why I've went so long without one. The other reason is I have bad anxiety and hate going to the dentist, but I trust Dr. Gussert and look forward to finally fixing my dental issues. I already feel a lot better about my smile. stars

Very warm and welcoming from the time you step through the door. Kim, managing the great people at the desk, is incredibly helpful, knowledgeable and puts in the extra effort to answer all questions. They worked through my insurance, took care of everything on that end, saved me money and presented a clear, concise treatment plan as well as cost up front. The Dr.’s Dental staff are second to none! They are concerned about your comfort and clearly explain the process. The office/practice is a well oiled, smooth operation. They make visiting the dentist enjoyable. I will never be able to say enough nice things about everyone there. I’m so grateful to have found them. stars

Recently switched my children(12,4 and 5) from the pediatric dentist on 8th street to Lakewood. First appointment today and it went great. From the welcoming we received from the front desk lady(who was greatttt) to all the other staff that took care of my kids individually and myself. Got more accomplished in one visit than the many visits from the previous dentist. Feel good about the switch ! stars

Stephanie Truxler

Sweet, professional and informative staff. It wasn't a hassle to add in an unexpected tooth filling to my new patient appointment. My teeth feel and look very clean! They checked to make sure I was doing okay very often and I appreciate them for doing so. Best dentist I've been to in my life thus far! stars
