I have been seeing Dr Kitts for at least 30 years, since I was a very small child and he was still at the previous office location. Even when I was living in another state, I timed my dentist appointments for my visits back to WA when possible. You cannot find a better dentist. The new office is very well equipped with the latest tech. The team is fantastic - typically I see Brett. I've never had a negative experience, not even when I was a little kid.

Frequently asked questions
We’ve collected answers to the questions patients ask most frequently about tooth fillings. This information provides a general overview of what to expect, but your specific treatment may vary based on your individual situation.
What are dental fillings, and why are they needed?
Dental fillings are materials used to restore the function, shape, and appearance of a tooth damaged by decay or trauma. Fillings are necessary to prevent further decay, infection, and tooth loss.
Is it painful to get a filling?
The process of getting a filling typically involves numbing the area with local anesthesia to ensure that the patient does not experience any pain or discomfort. However, some patients may experience sensitivity or discomfort after the procedure, which should subside within a few days.
Are dental fillings painful?
No. We take great care in numbing the area to be worked on so that our patients feel no discomfort. Once a filling is placed, there won’t be any pain from that tooth. You may notice a sensitivity to hot and cold beverages or food immediately following the procedure, but this will quickly resolve.
How Long does it take to get a filling?
The length of time it takes to get a filling depends on the size and location of the cavity and the type of filling material being used. In most cases, a filling can be completed in one visit, but in some situations, it may require multiple appointments.
How Long do dental fillings last?
Of all the options available, gold will last the longest, perhaps as long as 15-30 years. Silver amalgam fillings are a close second, and can last up to 15 years. Composite resins have the shortest life span and may need to be replaced within five to seven years.
How can I prevent the need for dental fillings?
The best way to prevent the need for dental fillings is to practice good oral hygiene habits, such as brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and visiting the dentist regularly for cleanings and checkups.
