WOW! Impressive! Caring! Are words that come to my mind when I think of this facility. My fiancee came into Aspen Dental today with a really bad dental situation. He has genetically weak enamel and a previous dentist had made the situation worse some years back. Walking into Aspen I know he was a bit nervous about being made feel guilty and judged about his dental situation. The staff at Aspen could not have been more helpful, reassuring, filled with empathy, and put together a treatment plan which we will follow through with them. I will be moving from my own dentist to this great staff in the near future. Thank you to Jasmine, Ericka, Kecia, Bethany, and the dentist. (I wish I could remember her name and embarrassed I don't). It was a stressful day not knowing how things would go walking in, extremely, stressful. However the staff at Aspen Southern Pines put us right at ease with their genuine warmth and I can not thank them enough. They made a very stressful situation so much better with such professionalism and care.

What are dental fillings?
A tooth filling is a restorative treatment that repairs a tooth that has been damaged by decay or minor fractures. When getting a filling, your dentist will remove any decay in your tooth and then fill the leftover space with either composite resin, glass ionomer or amalgam. This restores the shape, function and strength of your tooth while helping to minimize any discomfort or sensitivity.

Explore answers to common questions so you know what to expect—before, during and after your dental filling visit at Aspen Dental.You may need a dental filling if you have tooth pain, visible holes, dark spots, or sensitivity to hot, cold or sweet foods.

Yes. Modern tooth-colored fillings are strong and resist normal wear. While they may not last as long as metal fillings in areas of your mouth you frequently chew in, with proper care, they can last many years.
Wondering, “do cavity fillings hurt?” No, they don’t. During your treatment, we keep you comfortable with a local anesthetic. You may feel pressure, but should not feel pain. Any mild sensitivity afterward usually goes away within a few days.
Avoid chewing with the tooth that was filled until the numbness wears off. Brush and floss gently around the area as normal, and avoid sticky or hard foods for the first day. Maintain regular oral hygiene and schedule routine dental checkups to keep the filling in good condition.
