Restorative Dentistry & Dental Fillings in Wilmington

Almost everyone needs to have a dental restoration at some point. Whether the problem is due to decay, trauma, or some other circumstance, dental restorations can repair, stabilize, and protect your teeth from damage and breakage.

Our dentistry is always comfortable. We believe that exceptional dentistry should be pain-free, and that is why we spend extra time with our patients learning about their needs so that we can have outstanding results as well as a pleasant and stress-free experience.

Your Restorative Appointment

We begin each restorative dental appointment by assessing your teeth and considering which treatment will be the best for you. Once we determine the possible treatment options, Dr. Caselle will discuss those options with you and answer your questions.

Once we are ready to repair your tooth, we will make sure you are completely numb and comfortable for your appointment. You are always in control at Smile Life Dental. You can give us feedback during your appointment, and we can also make adjustments, as necessary.

Next, we will prepare your tooth so that we can restore it. This may mean removing decay and getting it ready for a filling or onlay, or it could mean that we need to make space for a protective dental crown. Once we prep your tooth, we can place your dental restoration.

We complete your fillings chairside, and you can chew on them the same day, but you should avoid hot liquids and chewy foods while you are still numb.

When you have a dental crown in our office, thanks to CEREC technology, we also provide them in one day, eliminating the need for temporary crowns and additional visits to our office. After we place your restoration, we will make any final adjustments so that it fits well with your opposing teeth and feels completely natural.

Frequently Asked Questions

How should I handle a dental emergency?

If you have a dental emergency, please contact our office as soon as possible. If the office is closed, follow the instructions and call our emergency number and Dr. Caselle will get in touch right away.

Here are some steps to help you in the case of a dental emergency:

Broken tooth: Rinse your mouth with warm salt water. If you notice swelling, place an ice pack on the area. If possible, keep the broken portion and bring it with you to the dentist. Restrict your diet to soft foods and avoid foods that are either too hot or cold.
Lost filling: Usually a lost filling will result in a tooth feeling sensitive for a few days. You should contact our office for an appointment as soon as possible. In the meantime, restrict your diet to soft foods and avoid food that is either hot or too cold. Even though your tooth may feel better after a few days, do not delay having your tooth fixed because long-term exposure can result in more damage to your tooth.
Toothache: Clean the area by swishing with warm salt water and floss to remove any irritants on the tooth. Call our office for an appointment.
Bitten lip or tongue: Place ice on the area of trauma to prevent swelling. If bleeding does not stop or slow, you should contact our office.
