We want you to be able to enjoy your food, and to enjoy your smile.
Unlike some practices, Dr. Eccles offers both metal and composite tooth fillings to stop tooth decay and repair your teeth. We will help you determine whether you should choose:

Dr Eccles office was closed for the holiday BUT he quickly returned a call regarding our emergency need related to a broken tooth. He met us at his office and quickly diagnosed and resolved the issue. Dr Eccles and his staff are simply outstanding and we would highly recommend him for dental needs.
Dr. Eccles is wonderful dentist and compassionate about his patients. His service along with his staff are 5 star. I recently had a emergency visit and within an hour I was successfully treated and released.
Dr Eccles is a fantastic dentist. He does great work, and doesn’t try do work that doesn’t need to be done. He actually cares about my needle phobia, and uses a special tool on me that makes it way less painful. His office manager, Linda, is stellar, and his other staff have all been super nice and compassionate. I have had many dentists over the years, and Dr Eccles is one of the best. I also like how they have handled still being able to see patients during covid; they are cautious, but in the nicest way possible. I hope he has no plans on retirement any time soon!!
Once again I arrived a little early and had a short wait after a friendly welcome from Linda. Shortly thereafter I was taken to the back where Dr Eccles filled a small cavity in his usual professional manner and boom …. I was finished and leaving in no time at all. This is my normal at this office … friendly, courteous, and professional staff with great service
Always a pleasure to visit Dr. Eccles and staff. Family type office with efficient staff and excellent service!! Welcome, Kelly and thank you !
This was my 2nd cleaning for 2021 Love my New Dentist and Love my Dental hygienist Kellie ❤ Front desk and all the gave me a warm welcome Thank you
I had a dental emergency. Dr. Eccles was able to see me the same day and took care of it! I highly recommend him.
Always a great experience. All of the staff is super friendly and work to make you comfortable (well as much as possible since you are at the dentist after all). Highly recommend for anyone looking for a new dentist.
I hate going to the Dentist however Dr. Eccles make the experience so much easier and his staff is simply wonderful when talking with them!!
Dr Eccles and his staff are wonderful. They take time to listen and explain. They also respect your time. Best dentist I have ever seen.
The appearance of your filling depends largely on the type of restoration used to fix your cavity. To ensure we have a filling for every situation, we use both amalgam and composite fillings. One of the biggest advantages of composite is that we can match it to the color of your other teeth so it won’t stand out in your smile.
There are two types of fillings: amalgam, which is made of a blend of metals, and composite, a blend of ceramic and a plastic compound. Both have advantages and possible disadvantages. Dr. Eccles will present all the information you need to make your decision and help you choose the restoration that will work best for your situation.
Tooth fillings themselves can’t get cavities. However, it is possible to get decay in a tooth that has a filling. Decay can affect the tooth at the edges of the filling. In addition, fillings can break down over time, creating an opportunity for decay to work its way underneath. Dr. Eccles will check the condition of fillings and other restorations during every exam to ensure they are still protecting your teeth.
That depends on which kind of filling is used, its location, your oral hygiene habits, and other factors. Metal fillings typically last much longer than composite fillings. For this reason, they may be better for hidden areas of your mouth that experience more force from chewing. With proper care, both kinds of fillings should last several years.
