Dental Fillings in Rome, NY | Tooth-Colored | Rome Dental
Natural-looking cavity repair that blends in with your smile.
Fix It Now, Before It Gets Expensive
Here's what Dr. Candido sees too often: a patient comes in after ignoring a small cavity, and now they need a crown. Or a root canal. Or worse.
That small cavity? It would've been a $150 filling if caught early. Now it's a $1,000+ problem.
This is why Dr. Candido believes in conservative dentistry. Do what's needed, when it's needed — and nothing more. We're not going to push you toward a crown because it pays more.
At Rome Dental, we use tooth-colored composite fillings exclusively. No metal. No mercury. Just a durable, natural-looking repair.
Does Getting A Filling Hurt?
Not during the procedure — we numb the area thoroughly before starting. You may feel pressure, but not pain. If you feel anything sharp, tell us immediately.
How Much Do Fillings Cost?
Tooth-colored composite fillings typically cost $150-$300 per tooth. Most dental insurance covers fillings. Our membership plan provides 15% off.
What Happens If I Don't Get A Cavity Filled?
It gets worse. Cavities don't heal on their own — they only grow. A $150 problem becomes a $1,000 problem becomes a $3,000 problem. Fix it early.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do fillings cost?
Tooth-colored composite fillings typically cost $150–$300 per tooth. Most dental insurance covers fillings, and the membership plan provides 15% off.What happens if I don't get a cavity filled?
The cavity will get worse, growing from a small, inexpensive problem ($150 filling) into a much larger and more costly problem (e.g., a $1,000+ crown or root canal).What is the difference between a filling and a crown?
A filling repairs a small area of decay or damage within a tooth. A crown covers and protects the entire tooth like a cap. You typically need a crown when a cavity is too large for a filling, the tooth is cracked, you've had a root canal, or an old filling is failing. Dr. Candido believes in conservative dentistry — if a filling will work, that's what he recommends.Do dental fillings hurt?
Not during the procedure. We numb the area thoroughly before starting, so you'll feel pressure but not pain. If you feel anything sharp, tell us immediately — we can add more anesthesia. After the numbness wears off, you may have some mild sensitivity for a day or two, but it typically fades quickly.What happens if I don't get a cavity filled?
It gets worse — cavities don't heal on their own. A small cavity that could be fixed with a $150 filling could eventually need a $1,000 crown. Left even longer, it may require a root canal or extraction. The longer you wait, the more invasive and expensive the treatment becomes. Fix it early while it's still simple.
