A filling is a way to restore a tooth damaged by decay back to its normal function and shape. When we give you a filling, we first remove the decayed tooth material, clean the affected area, and then fill the cleaned-out cavity with a filling material.
By closing off spaces where bacteria can enter, a filling also helps prevent further decay. Materials used for fillings include porcelain, a composite resin (tooth-colored fillings), and an amalgam (a metal alloy such as silver).
Before filling the cavity, we will first remove the decay and clean the affected area. The cleaned-out cavity will then be filled with one of the below mentioned materials.
No one type of filling is best for everyone. What’s right for you will be determined by the extent of the repair, whether you have allergies to certain materials, where in your mouth the filling is needed, and the cost. Considerations for different materials include:
If decay or a fracture has damaged a large portion of the tooth, a crown, or cap, may be recommended. Decay that has reached the nerve may be treated in two ways: through root canal therapy (in which nerve damaged nerve is removed) or through a procedure called pulp capping (which attempts to keep the nerve alive).

The whole office is outgoing and friendly. I feel very comfortable with them all. I would highly recommend them to my friends and family.
By far the best dental experience I've ever had! Dr.Khurana and his staff always provide me with the best dental care! Thank you for all you guys do!!
I have had a great experience at Dentistry of Bellevue for many years. I received excellent dental care from Dr. Khurana and his staff, they always gave me detailed explanation on any procedure I am receiving. The office is professional , and the staff are wonderful and pleasant to work with. I recommend them to anyone who is seeking dental care.
Great service and great people. Professional. I used them for me and my 6-yr old. They are good with kids too.
Dentistry of Bellevue is great! After 25 years my gold crown fell out one night and even though the practice was closed the next day, Dr Kharana came in the next morning just to fix it for me. Super nice folks and super efficient.
I never leave reviews, but wanted to leave one for this wonderful office! Of all the dentists I've had over the last few decades, I've never been as impressed as I have with Dentistry of Bellevue! From the moment I called and spoke to Audra at the front desk (who is amazing!), I immediately felt welcomed and was further surprised during my visits. Dr. Khurana and Traci were also very genuine, kind and honest! I highly recommend this dentistry and urge you to check them out! 😉

I have been a patient for over a year. I found this dentist simply by driving in my nebighorhood and I took a chance! I’m glad that I did. I’ve never been disappointed in the service I have received. I traditionally don’t like going to the dentist however, the atmosphere and comradery among patients and staff made me feel welcome and put me at ease. I have found the pricing to reasonable and very detailed.
