Dental fillings in Napa, CA

What is a dental filling?

A filling repairs a tooth that's been damaged by decay or a small break. At Bevan Dental, dental fillings in Napa are made with tooth-colored composite matched to your natural shade, so they blend right in.

Composite bonds to your tooth, which often lets us keep the filling small and save more of your healthy tooth.

Signs you may need a filling

• Sensitivity to sweets, hot, or cold
• A rough or sharp spot on a tooth
• Food catching in the same place
• A dark spot or a small hole

Often there are no symptoms at all, which is why regular exams with digital X-rays and Overjet AI matter.

What to expect

1. Numbing. We numb the area fully so you stay comfortable.
2. Removing decay. We gently clean out the damaged part of the tooth.
3. Filling and shaping. We place the composite in layers and shape it to your bite.
4. Polishing. We polish it smooth so it feels like your own tooth.

Our 2-year warranty

We stand behind our work. Our fillings come with a 2-year warranty.

Could you skip the drill?

If a cavity is caught early, before it breaks through the enamel, we may be able to treat it with no-drill fillings instead. If a tooth is too damaged for a filling, a dental crown gives it stronger protection. Read more in our post, Can a cavity heal without drilling?

“I'd rather tell you the truth than talk you into something. If you're nervous, we slow down and keep things gentle. If something can wait, I'll tell you it can wait. After more than 25 years, I've learned that being honest and gentle is its own kind of warmth.”
