Tired of Feeling Like Just Another Appointment at Your Dentist?
If any of this sounds familiar, you’re not alone — and you deserve better:
- “They found five cavities on my first visit and wanted to book everything immediately.” — We show you exactly what we see on digital images, walk you through every option, and let you decide. No pressure. No quota to hit.
- “I saw a different dentist every single time.” — Our team has been together for years. You’ll be greeted by name, seen by a consistent doctor, and never have to re-explain your history to a stranger.
- “I had no idea what it was going to cost until I got the bill.” — We give you a clear, written estimate before any procedure begins. Financial surprises don’t happen here.
- “The filling looked fine, but the tooth never felt right again.” — We use tooth-colored composite resin that bonds directly to your natural enamel — restoring the tooth’s actual strength, not just filling a gap.
“I was anxious the whole time and nobody acknowledged it.” — Our office is designed to feel welcoming, not clinical. Sedation options are available for patients who need them. Your comfort is part of the care.
Getting Started Is Simple
Step 1: Call us or book online — it takes under 2 minutes. Reach us at (303) 529-2913 or fill out our short contact form. Same-day appointments are often available.
Step 2: We examine, explain, and show you exactly what’s going on. Using digital imaging, we walk you through what we see and lay out every option clearly — no jargon, no pressure, no treatment plan you didn’t ask for.
Step 3: You leave with a healthy, restored tooth and a plan you actually understand. Most dental fillings are a single-visit procedure. You walk out ready to eat, speak, and smile — with no trace of dental work behind.
Fillings and Restorations That Protect Your Tooth for the Long Term
Tooth-Colored Composite Fillings
We use composite resin — a tooth-colored material — that bonds directly to your natural enamel. Unlike older metal fillings, it lets us preserve more of your healthy tooth structure. You leave with a restoration that’s strong, durable, and completely invisible.
Old Silver Filling Replacement
If you have cracked, worn, or discolored amalgam fillings, we can replace them in a single visit. The new composite restoration matches your tooth’s natural color and rebuilds its full strength. You walk away with a smile that looks and feels entirely your own again.
Inlays & Onlays
When a cavity is too large for a standard filling but doesn’t yet need a full crown, an inlay or onlay is the right call. These are custom-fit porcelain restorations built to handle the daily forces of biting and chewing. You get a solution that’s stronger than a filling and more conservative than a crown.
Dental Crowns
For teeth with deep decay, large old fillings, or cracks that go beyond the surface, a crown provides complete coverage and long-term stability. We use digital imaging to plan every crown with precision. You leave with a tooth that’s fully protected and built to last.
Big-Picture Treatment Planning
Before we recommend any filling, we look at your full oral health picture — not just the cavity in front of us. We assess bite alignment, gum health, and long-term wear patterns so the solution we recommend actually serves your lasting oral health. You get a treatment plan built around your whole mouth, not a single tooth.
Don’t put it off — a small cavity caught early is a quick, simple fix. Let’s take care of it together.
No pressure. No obligation. We’ll show you exactly what’s going on and let you decide what’s right for you. Written cost estimates provided before any procedure begins. Flexible financing options available. No insurance? our in-house membership plan starts at $440/year for children and $540/year for adults — includes free cleanings and exams plus significant discounts on treatment.

Why Aurora, CO Families Choose Aspenwood Dental for Their Dental Fillings
Aspenwood Dental Associates has been caring for Aurora families since 1972. That’s over 50 years of building real relationships — not just filling teeth and moving on. We are a completely independent, non-corporate practice, which means every recommendation we make is guided by your lasting oral health, not a monthly production target.
Our doctors have earned multiple 5280 Top Dentist recognitions, including Dr. Augustine and Dr. Zeppelin, and our team of four dentists brings deep, complementary expertise across general, restorative, cosmetic, and implant dentistry — all under one roof. When a case is complex, our doctors confer with each other. You get the benefit of a collaborative, experienced team.
We take a big-picture approach to every visit. Before we recommend any treatment, we assess how your oral health connects to your long-term well-being. That means we’re not just looking at the cavity — we’re looking at you. Many of our patients grew up coming here and now bring their own children. That kind of multi-generational trust doesn’t come from a script.
We also understand Aurora specifically. At altitude, dry air and dehydration affect oral health in ways most practices never address. We build care protocols around Colorado’s environment — including guidance for patients who regularly drive to the mountains and experience pressure-related tooth sensitivity.

Common Questions About Dental Fillings in Aurora, CO
How much does a dental filling cost in Aurora, CO?
Tooth-colored composite fillings in the Aurora area typically run $135–$300 for a simple one- or two-surface cavity. Larger cavities or multiple surfaces can range from $200–$550. We provide a written cost estimate before any work begins — no surprises, ever.
Does getting a filling hurt?
The procedure itself is painless — we fully numb the area before we start. Some patients feel mild soreness for a day or two afterward, which typically resolves on its own. If you have dental anxiety, we offer sedation options including nitrous oxide and oral sedation to make the experience as easy as possible.
How long does a filling appointment take?
Most composite fillings are completed in a single visit, typically 30–60 minutes depending on the size and location of the cavity. You leave the same day with a fully restored, natural-looking tooth.
Are tooth-colored fillings as strong as old silver ones?
Yes — modern composite resin bonds directly to your tooth structure, which means we actually preserve more of your healthy enamel than older amalgam techniques required. For very large cavities, we may recommend an inlay, onlay, or crown for even greater long-term strength.
I have old silver fillings that bother me — can you replace them?
Absolutely. We replace old amalgam fillings with tooth-colored composite in a single visit. If the original filling was large or the tooth has developed a crack, we’ll show you exactly what we see on digital images and discuss together whether composite or a stronger porcelain restoration makes the most sense for your long-term health.
Does dental insurance cover fillings?
Most dental insurance plans cover composite fillings, though coverage levels vary by plan. We work with most major insurance providers and walk you through your coverage before your appointment. If you don’t have insurance, our in-house membership plan starts at $440/year for children and $540/year for adults — it includes free cleanings and exams plus significant discounts on restorative treatment, with no third-party middleman.
How do I know if I actually need a filling — or if I’m being pushed into unnecessary treatment?
We show you. Using digital images and intraoral photos, we walk you through exactly what we see and explain why we’re recommending what we’re recommending. We’ve built this practice on trust for over 50 years. That doesn’t happen by recommending procedures patients don’t need.
