Cavity Fillings & Dental Sealants
Safeguard your smile with cavity fillings and dental sealants. At Eastridge Family Dental, we offer effective solutions to repair damaged teeth, prevent future decay, and keep teeth healthy and strong.
Dental Fillings: Protect Your Smile
Cavity fillings are essential for restoring teeth affected by decay. Dr. Waugh will carefully remove the decayed area, clean the tooth, and fill the cavity with a durable material, restoring the tooth’s function and shape. Tooth fillings can also be used to close gaps or fix chipped or broken teeth.
Dental Sealants: Prevent Tooth Decay
Dental sealants, also known as preventive resin restorations or tooth sealants, provide extra defense against cavities. This thin layer of resin is painted onto the chewing surfaces of your teeth, bonding quickly to fill grooves and create a protective barrier against bacteria and decay.

How often should I get a dental checkup?
Regular checkups every six months help catch potential issues early and maintain oral health. Our team provides personalized care to ensure your teeth and gums stay in excellent condition.

What is the process for applying dental sealants?
Dental sealants are applied quickly and painlessly. We clean the tooth, apply a special gel to prepare the surface, and paint the resin onto the tooth. The resin bonds to the tooth and hardens almost immediately.

Are dental X-rays safe for children and adults?
Yes, dental X-rays are safe for both children and adults. We use modern, low-radiation X-ray technology to ensure safety and minimize exposure, making it a secure and essential part of preventive care.
