Fillings

Overview

When the structural integrity of a tooth is weakened, typically through decay or physical injury, dental fillings are a tried and true method of repairing the damage. This well-established procedure involves applying a local anesthetic, scraping out decayed tissue, shaping the cavity, and finally applying the filling. It’s quick, it’s painless, and best of all, it’s highly effective in restoring the original appearance and functionality of the damaged tooth.

Filling Types

Fillings have a long history behind them – this dental treatment is thousands of years old. No surprise, then, that a variety of filling material is in circulation today, all with their pros and cons. From the traditional amalgam (silver) fillings to the slightly newer composite (white) fillings to ceramics, metal, and glass ionomer. At Classic Smiles, you can rely on your dental professional to suggest the most appropriate type of filling for your needs and budget.

Client Reviews

Classic Smiles is a great dental office. Dr. Nowysz is knowledgeable, methodical, and willing to educate patients on the hows and whys of what she is doing. The entire staff is exceptionally nice, and they will even give you a call if there is a chance to see them earlier. Like many people, I do not love going to the dentist, but Classic Smiles makes it a nice experience.

Brian D.

I love this place! Dr. Nowysz works quickly and competently, keeping me informed of what she is doing and my choices in care while letting me know what she feels is best. I have had no problems whatsoever with the work she has done, although she has had to replace/repair a lot of old dental work by other dentists. I always feel comfortable with her caring and professional manner. The office is very pleasant. The office staff is very friendly, helpful and efficient.

Martha S.

Wonderful experience. I've had routine work like filings and even some cosmetic work, all of which turned out perfectly. Everyone in the office is so helpful and friendly.

Best of all, she's AMAZING with children. My 2-year-old loved her. She did everything perfectly and said just the right things to get my kid to cooperate and even have fun! It was incredible to see; I’m still in shock.

Mary G.

Good dentist, she redid some bridgework another dentist had done, helped me correct a bad habit with over-aggressive brushing that was causing damage to gums and has been my dentist for years now.  Highly recommended.

Nathan F.

Absolutely the best dentist in Iowa City, the best practice at which I’ve ever been a patient. Steph really knows her patients and really cares about us as people. Last fall, when my son had a serious after-hours emergency, she opened up her clinic to see us and managed to save his front tooth as a result.

We are the absolute LUCKIEST people to have Classic Smiles here in Iowa City.
