A cavity occurs when bacteria breaks down the tooth structure, creating a hole within the tooth. Without a filling, cavities can progress into more serious conditions such as root canals, and cause serious pain and possibly irreparable damage. At Mount Olympus Dental, we only use the highest quality materials for our fillings to prevent post-operative sensitivity and increase the longevity of the filling.
Most offices in Utah charge between $130-$500 per filling. Call our office to set up an appointment to discuss your individualized treatment plan and associated fees.
You will be given local anesthetic which will prevent pain in the area during the procedure. There may be a small amount of soreness following the procedure that typically lasts 1-2 days.
You may drink at any time after your filling. The filling material is hard before you leave our office, but it is important that you do not eat until the anesthetic has worn off to prevent biting your tongue or cheek. The local anesthetic usually wears off about 1-2 hours following your appointment.
