A cavity is a small hole in a tooth caused by decay, when acid from plaque bacteria gradually wears away enamel. A filling removes the decayed portion and replaces it with a durable material that restores the tooth’s shape and strength. The Cleveland Clinic notes that cavities remain one of the most common chronic conditions at any age, and that catching one early usually means a simple, single-visit filling. The American Dental Association explains that today’s composite fillings bond directly to the tooth and are shaded to match your natural enamel.
Between long shifts in the tourism and service industry, the demands of state government work, and simply the natural effects of age, cavities show up for different reasons across our Annapolis patients. Common signs include:
If you’re not sure what the visit itself involves, here’s a quick overview: after your exam and X-ray confirm a cavity, we numb the area with a local anesthetic so the procedure is comfortable — most patients feel pressure but not pain. Once the decayed material is removed and the tooth is prepped, placing, shaping, and bonding the filling typically takes just 15 to 30 minutes. Numbness usually wears off within two to four hours, so we recommend waiting until then before eating on that side of your mouth. For Naval Academy families and downtown professionals working around tight schedules, it’s a visit that’s easy to fit into a single free hour.
Given how varied our Annapolis patient base is — from Naval Academy families to longtime waterfront residents — we see the full range of filling and restorative needs. A filling is generally sufficient when a cavity is caught early. When decay has weakened a large portion of the tooth, a crown may be the more practical long-term choice. If decay has reached the inner nerve and is causing infection or persistent pain, a root canal is typically needed first. We’ll help you weigh these clearly at your consultation.
Filling costs vary based on the material used and the size of the cavity. Our team verifies your insurance benefits, including TRICARE for Naval Academy-connected families, before treatment begins. Patients without applicable coverage can also ask about our in-house membership plan for reduced pricing.
Brushing twice daily, flossing regularly, and keeping up with routine cleanings will help your filling last 7-10 years or longer.
