Call us today if you think you need a tooth filled: 832-463-1021.
Metal fillings can stick out like a sore thumb in your smile. That’s not the only reason our dentists don’t use them, however. To fit precisely, metal fillings require removing some of your healthy tooth structure. When they need to be replaced, you may need to invest in a dental crown instead.
To keep your smile beautiful and maintain your oral health, Dr. Juarez and our skilled team repair your tooth decay with tooth-colored fillings. No one will even know you’ve had dental work done!
At Houston Uptown Dentists, we can catch dental decay early during your regular dental cleanings and exams. To ensure we won’t overlook any potential signs of decay, we use a state-of-the-art DIAGNOdent cavity detection system. Once we have determined you need a filling, we will:
In some cases, we can repair your cavity with a laser, for an even quicker and more comfortable process. The Fotona Laser allows us to remove the decayed area with little to no discomfort. Most patients don’t even need anesthesia! The Fotona Laser is modern dentistry at its finest, and you can benefit from it right here.
If you are experiencing a toothache, sensitivity to hot or cold substances, or pain in your tooth when biting down, you could have a cavity. Call us today at 832-463-1021 for Houston tooth fillings. You can also make an appointment online. Ask about our $49 emergency consultation, which includes a limited exam and any needed X-rays.
I’ve been a patient here for years and love this dentist. They are always super friendly and Huong, my dental hygienist is amazing! She is super informative and helps you know how to improve your home care and provides very helpful feedback. Highly recommend.
Outstanding dentists with a welcoming staff. This team provides the most advanced technology when caring for their patients teeth and they do so in a most comfortable environment. I am also grateful to Julia for her helpful advice regarding my parent’s sleep apnea.
The staff is really helpful with any concerns, they are always there to help you. I been having a great experience so far throughout my appointments. Huong has been a great person giving me helpful information about my dental hygiene.
I’ve been going here for almost 7 years now, love them! I get a lot of anxiety going to the dentist, but this team is top notch and does an excellent job every time. Great communication, easy to schedule appointments, and of course top quality dental work. I needed a referral to a dental surgeon at one point in my dental care, and I had a great experience with their referral network, as well.
Houston Uptown Dentist is fabulous! Very friendly staff and extremely clean. Wendy was helpful, accommodating, and talked me through my entire process. Would highly recommend.
Wendy and Dr Juarez were amazing and I love this place!!! Been a patient since 1998 and would recommend this dental practice to everyone!! This is the best, and the staff are so friendly!
Houston Uptown Dentist is the only dentist office for me! I love Dr. Juarez, my hygienist Jennifer and the support staff, especially Bernadette. I trust them with my care and I am extremely grateful for their attention to the details!
Dr. Juarez and her team are nothing but awesome! She is always on top of her profession – always willing to do whatever it takes to serve her patients. I wish we lived closer so that my husband and I could go to her more than we are able.
My first appointment at Houston Uptown Dentists was the best Dentist visit that I have ever had. Dr. Juarez and Sabrina were thorough and addressed all of my concerns in one visit. Before I left the office, I was able to get a detailed treatment plan that included the cost for my upcoming treatments. Their office is really efficient and they value each patient.
Houston Uptown Dentists are AWESOME (shoutout to Jennifer – she’s great)! I’ve always been a little terrified of the dentist, and as a result, I avoid it more than I should. I had a wonderful experience with the office and would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone. They took extra care to make me feel comfortable and walk me through all the things that were happening. If you’re looking for someone or don’t have good experiences with your current provider, check them out!
White fillings are made out of either composite resin, a blend of ceramic and plastic, or porcelain. We can match the color of these materials to your other teeth so they will look completely natural in your smile. Unlike amalgam (metal) fillings, white fillings don’t contain mercury. So they’re a good choice for patients who prefer to avoid mercury.
All dental fillings are safe for most patients. However, some studies have raised concerns about the long-term health impact of mercury, which is used in amalgam fillings. Both the FDA and the American Dental Association say mercury in fillings is safe. However, mercury isn’t a concern at all with our composite fillings.
After your dentist places your new filling, you should expect it to last for several years without any problems. On average, composite fillings should last about five to seven years, although other factors do come into play. Depending on which tooth has the filling and the types of foods you eat, your filling may last a longer or shorter period of time.
Getting a tooth filled does not have to be a painful experience. Your dentist and staff at Houston Uptown Dentists will make sure that your procedure goes smoothly and is comfortable. We’ll first use a local anesthetic to ensure that the area around the tooth is completely numb. We also offer three relaxing forms of sedation if you need a little extra help getting comfortable
Yes, tooth fillings can occasionally come out. If a person tends to eat a lot of chewy, sticky, or hard foods and candies, their fillings can come out. If this happens to you, try to put the filling back in place if possible, then call our office as soon as you can so we can get you in and replace the filling.
