Gold Dental provides tooth fillings for patients throughout Petersburg, VA to treat cavities and repair minor tooth damage. Cavities are one of the most common dental problems affecting both children and adults, and treating them promptly prevents the decay from spreading deeper into the tooth and causing more serious problems like infections or tooth loss.
We offer tooth-colored composite resin fillings that blend seamlessly with the natural color of your teeth. Composite fillings are bonded directly to the tooth, which requires removing less healthy tooth structure than traditional silver amalgam fillings. They are virtually invisible once placed and are a great choice for fillings in visible areas of the mouth. We also place silver amalgam fillings for patients who prefer this traditional option, which is highly durable and typically covered by Medicaid.
Getting a filling at Gold Dental is straightforward. The area is numbed with local anesthetic, the decayed portion of the tooth is removed, and the filling material is placed, shaped, and polished in a single appointment. Most fillings take 30 to 60 minutes. You can return to normal activities the same day.
Virginia Medicaid covers dental fillings for both adults and children. FAMIS covers fillings for children. We see many patients with Medicaid who need fillings and we process all claims on your behalf. Walk-ins are welcome when same-day filling appointments are available.
