Redding Dental Arts is happy to offer dental fillings to the people of Redding, CA. Fillings are used to treat dental cavities, which are among the most common dental health problems a person can experience. Fortunately, fillings are a quick and simple solution to treating cavities, and at Redding Dental Arts we have the experience and quality materials required to restore your teeth to their full strength and function.
What are cavities and dental fillings?
Also known as tooth decay or caries, cavities are areas on the hard surface of the teeth that become damaged and form small holes or openings. They are caused by multiple factors, such as bacteria in the mouth, damage from substances like sugary snacks or drinks and poor oral health habits. If left untreated, they can increase in size and further harm the tooth; this can eventually lead to the need for root canal treatment (if the decay reaches the root of the tooth) or removal of the tooth altogether (if there is not enough healthy material left to salvage). When cavities first form, they are small and generally not painful, which makes them hard for a person to notice on their own. This is why it is important to see a dentist for regular cleanings and exams.
Fillings are used to replace the removed decayed part(s) of a tooth in order to restore its healthy and hard outer shell. This prevents further spread of tooth decay and allows the patient to resume normal eating and chewing habits.
What kinds of dental fillings does Redding Dental Arts offer?
Dr. Travis Tucker and our team are partial to tooth-colored resin fillings. Tooth-colored resin fillings repair minor damage to teeth due to bacteria or decay by filling in the damaged area and preventing entry of further harmful elements. This option blends in with your natural tooth color and avoids the risks associated with amalgam fillings such as mercury exposure.
If you have more questions, think you may have a cavity or would like to make an appointment with our family dentist for a filling, please give Redding Dental Arts a call today at (530) 222-0920.

The staff were all warm and friendly. I was seen right away and Dr. Tucker spent an appropriate amount of time listening and being thorough. My hygenist was very gentle and they all seem to be receptive to my preferences, which is a nice change. The front staff was also very helpful in figuring out my insurance. I'm very grateful to have found this office.
I’ve been going to Redding Dental Arts for many years. This time. Was extra special. I was ushered in by my dental technician and was surprised to be asked if it would be ok to let a student watch during my appointment. The trainee, from Enterprise HS, seemed very bright and represented the Shasta County ROP well.
Dr. Tucker and his staff are very efficient, friendly, and caring. They give you individualized attention and A+ expertise. Jennifer, my hygienist, is very professional, yet personable, and is excellent in what she does. Dr. Tucker is an excellent dentist and does an extremely beautiful job. He is a very caring dentist, taking careful consideration of the patient’s needs.
Dr. Travis Tucker is great. He's super friendly and manages to make you feel comfortable even when you know you're at the dentist! The other ladies that help in the office are great too. Straightforward work with reasonable cost. Their "membership" is a pretty good deal, it's like insurance but not as painful.
Super happy with my experience. The staff was friendly and caring. Dr Tucker does amazing work. So happy they were able to squeeze me into their schedule! I highly recommend them!
