Why You May Need a Dental Filling
A dental filling is one of the most common ways to restore a tooth that has been damaged by decay or wear. Dr. Kou may recommend a filling if you have:
- A cavity caused by tooth decay
- A small chip or crack in a tooth
- A worn-down tooth from grinding (bruxism)
- An old or failing filling that needs to be replaced
- Sensitivity caused by enamel damage
- A minor cosmetic concern, such as small gaps or surface flaws
Treating cavities early with a filling helps prevent more serious problems like infection, root canal therapy, or tooth loss. Our team will let you know exactly what is going on with your tooth and walk you through the most conservative treatment option.
Benefits of Tooth-Colored Composite Fillings
At Core Dentistry, we use modern composite resin fillings that look and feel just like your natural teeth. They are an excellent choice for both front and back teeth, offering both function and aesthetics
Benefits of tooth-colored fillings include:
- Custom-shaded to match your natural tooth color
- Bonds directly to the tooth for added strength
- Requires less drilling than silver fillings
- Preserves more of your healthy tooth structure
- Free of mercury and metal
- Less sensitivity to hot and cold temperatures
- Durable and long-lasting with proper care
- Virtually invisible in your smile
Whether you need a new filling or want to replace older silver fillings, tooth-colored composite is a beautiful, healthy choice.

Replacing Old or Failing Fillings
Even the best fillings don't last forever. Over time, fillings can wear down, crack, or pull away from the tooth, allowing bacteria to sneak in and cause new decay. You may also choose to replace old silver fillings for cosmetic reasons or to remove metal from your smile.
You may need to replace a filling if you notice:
- Sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweets
- Pain when biting down
- A rough or chipped edge on the filling
- A dark line around an old silver filling
- Visible cracks or wear
- Discoloration in the tooth
If any of these sound familiar, schedule an evaluation with Dr. Kou at our Frisco dental office. Replacing a failing filling early helps prevent more extensive treatment down the road.
