Why Choose Fillings at Makris Dental?
While fillings are routine procedures, the quality of materials, precision of placement, and attention to functional detail can vary significantly. Dr. Cokovska's prosthodontic expertise ensures exceptional results that last.
Prosthodontist-Level Precision
Dr. Cokovska's advanced training ensures every filling is placed with meticulous attention to bite alignment and occlusion, preventing future problems and ensuring your filling feels completely natural from day one.
Premium Tooth-Colored Materials
We use the highest quality composite resin materials that match your natural tooth color perfectly, providing restorations that are virtually invisible while offering excellent durability and longevity.
Conservative Tooth Preservation
Modern composite fillings bond directly to tooth structure, allowing us to preserve more of your natural tooth compared to traditional amalgam fillings, which strengthens your tooth and reduces future risk.
Comprehensive Cavity Detection
Our advanced diagnostic technology including digital x-rays and intraoral cameras catches cavities in their earliest stages, allowing for smaller, more conservative fillings that are easier to treat.
Our Advanced Technology
Modern filling materials and techniques have revolutionized cavity treatment, making procedures more comfortable and results more natural-looking than ever before. At Makris Dental Prosthodontics, we utilize digital radiography to detect cavities in their earliest stages, often before they're visible or cause pain.
Our composite resin materials are specially cured using advanced LED lights that harden the filling in seconds while creating an incredibly strong bond to your tooth. Intraoral cameras allow both Dr. Cokovska and you to see exactly where decay exists and how the filling restores your tooth.
Discovering The Future Of Dentistry
Your Filling Experience at Makris Dental Prosthodontics
Getting a filling at our practice is a comfortable, efficient process that typically takes less than an hour. We ensure you're at ease every step of the way while delivering results that restore both function and aesthetics.
01
Examination & Treatment Planning
Dr. Cokovska thoroughly examines the affected tooth, reviewing x-rays to determine the extent of decay. She explains exactly what needs to be done and answers any questions you have about the procedure, ensuring you feel informed and comfortable.
02
Anesthesia & Decay Removal
The area around your tooth is numbed with local anesthesia so you won't feel any discomfort during the procedure. Dr. Cokovska carefully removes all decayed tooth material using specialized instruments, then cleans and prepares the cavity to receive the filling.
03
Filling Placement & Bonding
A tooth-colored composite resin material is carefully selected to match your natural tooth shade. The material is applied in layers, with each layer hardened using a special curing light. This bonding process creates an incredibly strong attachment to your tooth structure.
04
Shaping & Polishing
Once the filling is in place, Dr. Cokovska shapes it to match your tooth's natural contours and checks your bite to ensure proper alignment. The filling is then polished smooth, creating a comfortable, natural feel that blends seamlessly with your other teeth.

Benefits of Tooth-Colored Fillings
Who Needs Dental Fillings?
Dental fillings are the appropriate treatment for cavities and minor to moderate tooth decay that hasn't progressed to the inner pulp. You may need a filling if you experience:
Tooth sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet foods and beverages
Visible holes, pits, or dark spots on your teeth
Pain or discomfort when biting down on food
Rough or sharp edges you can feel with your tongue
Food consistently getting stuck in the same spot between teeth
A tooth that feels different or "off" when you run your tongue over it
Cavities detected during your routine dental examination
Considerations:
The earlier a cavity is detected and filled, the simpler and more affordable the treatment. Small cavities can be treated with minimal tooth removal and result in smaller, longer-lasting fillings. If decay progresses too far, you may need more extensive treatment like a root canal or crown. That's why regular dental checkups every six months are essential for catching cavities early when they're easiest to treat.
