I am happy that I came. I had a great experience not overwhelming not pushing me to get something. I did not need. Thanks.
Dr. Christopher Williams and the entire Aspen Dental team on Hulen Street in Southwest Fort Worth, Texas. Thank you for the exceptional care, compassion, and professionalism you showed me during my dental treatment. As a patient, I was initially given the option of extracting two teeth—one upper and one lower—in the back of my mouth. Since they were not visible, I thought removing them would be the most cost-effective solution. After all, no one would have known but God, my dentist, and me. However, Dr. Williams took the time to listen, educate, and explain that losing those teeth could create more significant dental issues in the future. While I was focused on saving money in the moment, God had a greater plan. Through His provision and the guidance of Dr. Williams, I was able to find a solution that helped me save both my teeth and my finances. I am deeply grateful for the way Dr. Williams and his associates cared not only about the pain in my mouth but also the pain in my pocketbook. That level of compassion and collaboration meant more than words can express. If I could hand out purple stars 💜, every member of the team would receive one. Since I cannot, please know that each of you will always hold a special place in my heart and remain in my prayers. Thank you again for everything you have done for me and for the many Aspen Dental patients whose lives you impact every day. May God continue to bless each of you as you serve others with excellence, kindness, and care. With sincere gratitude, Vanessa Anderson-Brown 💜
I've had dental issues my whole life (thanks genetics), so I'm always anxious when I have to have a visit, especially if it's a new facility. My insurance coverage led me to Aspen Dental with Dr. Williams and I'll be honest, I was very nervous to go to a "chain" dentist. My nerves were unfounded. The office staff is extremely welcoming, friendly, knowledgeable, and thorough. I can speak to the services because I ended up having nearly everything. Lock in, it's a long one: First, I had a consultation where the imaging was extremely thorough including a 3D scanner (which was super cool). After my imaging, Dr. Williams came in and took his time speaking with me, answering questions, and explaining the care plan recommendation. I ended up with a broken tooth (which is what prompt the initial visit) needing a root canal, and a tooth with an infection I didn't even know about. Very quickly, my appointment with the endodontist was scheduled. The endodontist was AMAZING. She was honest about the infected tooth and gave me options regarding treatment but also gave me her recommendations. I ended up having a root canal on the broken tooth and while it's weird to say, it was almost enjoyable. No discomfort, no pain. Nothing like a previous root canal I had where I was in pain and uncomfortable. Definitely recommend her if you need an endodontist. Following the root canal, it was decided to have the infected tooth extracted and place a bone graft. This was scheduled quickly and Dr. Williams was FANTASTIC. I had never had an extraction before so he took the time to explain the procedure and was very thorough. I had absolutely no pain or discomfort during the extraction (molar). Again, something I was extremely anxious about ended up being completely fine. After care was explained and I was on my way. Through this office I've also had two visits with the hygienist, who is WONDERFUL as well as getting the crown made and placed following my root canal. So like I said, pretty much everything. It's likely I'll be back for an implant once the extraction and bone graft heal completely, but I'm sure it will be absolutely fine. As a person who has spent many many hours (and many many dollars) at the dentist, this is a huge deal. Apparently I've just gone to rough dentists in the past. This office is so much better. I started anxious and scared, but now that I've had all these treatments done, I feel completely comfortable and know Dr. Williams and his team will take great care of me. Trust me when I say this is a huge win. Highly recommend.

Tooth decay or damage doesn’t have to bring you down or keep you in pain.

Before treatment begins, our team will walk you through your options and estimated costs.

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.

Types of dental fillings

Composite fillings

The top choice for tooth restoration—a resin composite filling is made to match your tooth’s shade for a natural appearance.

Glass ionomer fillings

Commonly used for small cavities, these fillings release fluoride, which can help prevent further tooth decay.

Amalgam fillings

Silver tooth fillings (amalgam fillings) are durable, cost-effective and can contain metals such as silver, tin and copper.

Dental filling in Fort Worth, TX (Hulen Street) FAQs

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. Getting treatment early can prevent more serious dental problems.

Tooth-colored composite fillings are often best for front teeth. They blend in naturally, bond securely to your tooth and provide strong support in visible areas.

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.
