Before you book

What happens in the chair

The tooth is numbed and the decay taken out. The filling is placed in layers, set with a light, then shaped so your bite meets it evenly.

Why the fee says one surface

A filling is priced by the sides of the tooth it covers. The first look shows how far the cavity goes, so you know the fee before anything starts.

Afterwards

The tooth can feel sensitive to cold for a while. If your bite feels high once the numbness wears off, ring the desk and it will be adjusted.

Start with a first look

A limited exam and one X-ray on the tooth, $116 and about 25 min, so you know what it needs before anything is done.
