Dental Fillings for Restoration
At Erik P. Cadra, DMD, we provide high-quality dental fillings to restore your smile and protect your teeth from further decay. Our fillings are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, ensuring both functionality and aesthetics.
Dental Sealants for Prevention
Dental sealants are a highly effective way to prevent cavities, especially in children and teens. They are a thin, protective coating applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth, where decay often starts.
Sealants act as a barrier, protecting enamel from plaque and acids. They are quick and painless to apply, making them a convenient option for protecting your child’s teeth. Sealants can last several years, providing long-term protection against cavities.

Getting a cavity filled is generally a painless procedure. Dr. Cadra uses local anesthesia to numb the area. The anesthesia ensures that you are comfortable throughout the treatment. You may feel some pressure or vibration, but you should not feel pain.

How do I Relieve Tooth Pain after a Filling?
After a filling, you may experience some sensitivity or discomfort. This is normal and usually subsides within a few days. To relieve pain, avoid very hot or cold foods and drink. Chew on the opposite side of your mouth that does not have the new filling, and take over-the-counter pain medication if needed. If the pain persists, contact our office for further assistance.
