Protect Your Teeth

Your comfort comes first during every filling procedure. Using advanced digital imaging, Dr. Herbert will carefully assess the affected area. Thanks to our state-of-the-art technologies and techniques, you'll have a straightforward and comfortable cavity repair. You'll experience:

Painless Treatment - Your dentist will numb your mouth to ensure comfort.
Tooth-Colored Materials - The composite filling is virtually invisible while providing excellent durability.
Precise Procedure - Dr. Herbert ensures your non-metal filling fits perfectly and restores your tooth's natural function.
Same-Day Care - The entire process is efficient and comfortable. Most dental fillings are completed in less than an hour.

Keep Your Smile in Great Shape

While getting a tooth filling is a common procedure, proper aftercare ensures the best long-term results.

However, you can typically return to your normal activities right after treatment. You will be pleasantly surprised by how quickly you forget which tooth was even treated.

The key to extending your filling's life is consistent care. Simple habits like regular brushing and flossing help maintain your natural teeth and your restorations.

During your follow-up visits, we use digital imaging to check the condition of your Minneapolis tooth fillings. Dr. Herbert will make sure they continue to protect your teeth effectively.

Switched hygienists in coming to J&D Dental and it was the greatest dental experience I have ever had. Sarah is not only exceptional, but the care was impressive as well. The technology available is first class, and a simple cleaning procedure was a breeze. Dr. Herbert is beyond personable...

I happened to get a mailer from them right when I was considering trying a downtown dentist after a recent move, and I'm so glad I did. The hygienist was great, as was the dentist (Sarah), and their tech was even better than my last office (which was top notch). I highly recommend these folks!

Douglas Meisner

First and only dentists office I have ever been to, hoping to keep it that way. Staff is great. Service is excellent. So many people talk about how they hate going to the dentist, but with J & D Dental the experience is enjoyable. I tell my friends about my dentist office and they get jealous.

Raven Wolf

Teeth scraped, cleaned and polished by a terrific hygienist, periodontal check with out pain or bleeding, Dr Herbert checks my Invisaline progress and crown replacement issue and together we discuss and find a way to get them done before the end of the year - a win-win for everyone! I love the professionalism of Dr Jennifer Herbert, DDS and her amazing staff and their willingness to work with every patient's anxities and idiocinracies. Thank you for giving me back my smile.

Zach Halliwell

I've been a patient here for 20+ years and have only ever had positive experiences. The ladies at the front desk are welcoming, the dental hygienists are kind and gentle, and Dr. Herbert and her assistants are excellent. My dental hygiene habits have fluctuated over the years and during the worst of times, I was treated with the same respect and care that I'm treated with now. I cannot recommend and thank Dr. Herbert and her amazing team enough.

Jennifer Heger

I was in Minneapolis on business and needed some urgent dental work done. I contacted J & D and they were able to work me into the schedule. I chose them because of their five star rating and they certainly did not disappoint. The entire staff was amazing to work with and Dr. Herbert was incredible. If I lived in Minneapolis, this would be my Dentist without any question. Highly recommended!! Thanks Dr. Herbert and staff for taking such great care of me!!

How long does a dental filling procedure take?

Most filling appointments take 30 to 60 minutes from start to finish. Your exact treatment time depends on the size and location of the cavity being treated. Thanks to our advanced digital tools and efficient techniques, we can complete your filling in a single visit. Even if you need multiple fillings, we can often treat them in the same appointment to save you time.

Will getting a filling hurt?

Modern filling procedures are designed to be completely comfortable. We use gentle numbing techniques to ensure you won't feel any pain during treatment. Many patients choose to relax with noise-canceling headphones during their procedure. You may experience mild sensitivity for a few days after treatment, but that fades quickly.

How long do tooth-colored fillings last?

Composite fillings typically last many years with proper care. Their longevity depends largely on your oral hygiene habits and regular dental checkups. Our digital imaging technology helps us monitor your filling's condition at each visit to ensure it continues protecting your tooth effectively. With good care and maintenance, many patients enjoy their fillings for even longer.
