Enjoy a Natural Smile With Dental Fillings
Tooth decay is one of the most common chronic health conditions—but fortunately, it’s highly treatable when addressed early. Cavities can weaken your teeth and impact your oral health, but dental fillings provide a reliable solution. Fillings halt the spread of decay and reinforce the tooth’s structure, helping you avoid more complex procedures down the line.
At Rockaway Dental Center, we offer high-quality composite fillings that are both strong and natural-looking. These tooth-colored restorations blend seamlessly with your smile, restoring function and beauty without drawing attention to the work done.

Do I Need a Filling?
If you're dealing with tooth discomfort or sensitivity, it may be a warning sign of decay, a crack, or another underlying dental issue—making you a likely candidate for a filling. Sensitivity is often one of the first signs that something needs attention beneath the surface.
During your appointment, Dr. Cho will thoroughly assess your symptoms and determine the best course of treatment based on your individual needs. In many cases, tooth-colored fillings offer an effective and aesthetically pleasing solution for restoring teeth damaged by cavities, chips, fractures, or more advanced decay.

Dental Fillings—The Process
At Rockaway Dental Center, placing a composite resin filling is a routine and simple procedure we perform every day. Here’s what you can expect during your visit:
- Dr. Ted Cho begins by isolating the tooth to keep it dry and free of saliva.
- Any decayed or damaged tooth material is gently removed.
- An etchant and bonding agent are applied to prepare the tooth surface.
- Composite resin is layered into the cavity, with each layer hardened using a special curing light.
- Once filled, the resin is sculpted to match the natural shape of your tooth.
- Finally, the restoration is polished and adjusted to ensure a smooth fit with your bite.
