Temporary Fillings

If you have a tooth that has lost a filling or has decay, we may be able to provide you with a temporary filling as a stop-gap measure to relieve pain, if you are unable to seek permanent treatment right away. These temporary fillings are very useful in preventing infection and pain, in the time before you are able to schedule appropriate permanent treatment. While these temporary fillings can last a long time, we do not provide these as a long-term solution, as decay can still persist underneath this temporary filling.
