A lost filling can happen suddenly, biting into something hard, or it just becomes loose over time. Either way, the exposed tooth underneath is sensitive and at risk. Milcovich Dental Arts offers same day appointments in our Walnut Creek office to replace your filling before sensitivity turns into pain or decay sets in.

A missing filling is uncomfortable but very manageable if you act quickly.
Once a filling is gone, the tooth underneath has no protection. Bacteria, food particles, and temperature changes can reach the inner tooth directly, which means a small problem can turn into a cavity, infection, or even a root canal if it’s left too long. Most lost fillings are a quick, affordable fix when caught early.
Milcovich Dental Arts makes filling replacement simple:
Milcovich Dental Arts is conveniently located in Walnut Creek and we see patients from Lafayette, Orinda, Pleasant Hill, Concord, Alamo, San Ramon, and Danville for same-day filling repairs.
It’s not usually urgent in the way a knocked out tooth is, but same-day or next-day care is recommended since the exposed tooth is vulnerable to decay and sensitivity.
Common causes include age and wear, a new cavity forming around the filling’s edge, grinding, or biting something hard. We’ll identify the cause at your visit.
Most lost fillings are replaced with a simple new filling. If decay has spread significantly, we may recommend a crown, we’ll always explain why before doing more than necessary.
Most PPO dental plans cover filling replacement, often with minimal out-of-pocket cost. We’ll verify your benefits before treatment.
Same-day appointments available. We’ll protect your tooth and stop the sensitivity, fast.
