Dental Fillings
Restore Your Teeth with Dental Fillings
Do you think you may have a cavity? The Centers for Disease Control report that more than 80% of people will have had at least one cavity by age 34. Although having a cavity can be painful and inconvenient, it’s important to address this common problem in order to prevent further tooth decay or damage. Luckily, the team at A+ Family Dentistry has over 20 years of experience in providing dental fillings for patients, and we can help you with your cavity and filling needs.
The Importance of Dental Fillings
Dental fillings are used to restore teeth that have been damaged by decay. When a tooth is damaged, bacteria can enter the tooth and cause an infection. If the infection is left untreated, it can lead to tooth loss. Dental fillings can help to prevent further damage to the tooth, improve the appearance of the tooth, and protect your oral health. If a patient waits too long to get a cavity filled, and the decay spreads, they may need a more intensive dental treatment instead such as a root canal or tooth extraction.
Signs You Need a Dental Filling
Not sure whether you should ask your dentist about a filling? They can tell you for certain during your regular exam, but there are several signs that you may need a dental filling, including:
- You have a toothache or pain when chewing
- You have sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures
- You see a hole or crack in your tooth
- You see dark spots on your tooth
- Your gums are swollen or bleeding
Will My Insurance Cover My Dental Filling?
Since dental fillings are typically considered to be necessary to maintain oral health, many insurance plans will cover fillings. However, every dental insurance plan is different, and whether or not your filling is covered will depend on your insurance provider and your plan. Our team can work with you to determine whether your filling treatment will be covered and to what extent.

From the patients who know us best.
We're proud of the relationships we build — here's what our San Diego, Sorrento Valley, and Poway patients are saying.
"A+ dentistry has been awesome! I hadn't been to the dentist in over a year, so they took a full scan of my mouth and explained in detail every step I should take to improve my hygiene and any procedures they recommended. They were transparent on each service and did not try to sell me anything."
"10/10. The best dentist I've ever been to, and I've been to quite a few considering I move around a lot. Dr. Victor, Jahaida, and staff are very kind. They take pretty good care of you."
"I've been coming to A+ for years for cleanings, fillings, and Invisalign. Everyone has been amazing, from the dental hygienists to dental assistants, the doctors and the front desk staff."
"Was recommended by a friend and it was the best recommendation to date! Dr. Justine and assistants were all so kind. They spoke about costs upfront and earned my trust with their transparency."
"I cannot recommend this place enough. Went here for a 2nd opinion. Their office was so nice, clean, and well equipped. The staff is amazing — they made me feel so comfortable."
