Dental fillings have been around for so long that you probably don’t give them much thought. But these hard workers are a pathway to restoring your dental health and preserving your beautiful smile. Whether you have tooth decay or damage, Lilac Dental’s Saugus family dentist approaches each cavity filling with the utmost care and precision so that your teeth remain strong and healthy for years to come.

At Lilac Dental, your dental filling experience is as stress-free as possible. Dr. Hovhannes focuses on your mental health and offers personalized attention throughout the procedure.
Fillings typically take about 20 to 60 minutes per tooth, depending on the size and location of the cavity. We value your time and strive to make the process as efficient as it is effective.
The filling process is generally painless with local anesthesia. You might experience slight pressure during the procedure, but our team checks on you throughout. We also offer valium if you’re extra nervous, have special needs, or need several fillings.
With proper care, dental fillings can last up to 20 years. Regular dental checkups and good oral hygiene are essential to prolong their lifespan.
We offer a range of safe and durable filling materials, including composite fillings. Our team helps you choose the best option based on your needs, preferences, and even aesthetics.
We make care more accessible by making it easy to book your dental appointments online when it fits your schedule.
Indulge in our complimentary beverage bar while you wait and enjoy TVs, cozy blankets, and plush pillows in our treatment rooms during your visit.
At our office, you receive only guidance from our team so that we can work together to make your smile the best it can be.

Very professional and skilled, top to bottom. Cannot recommend him more highly. Dr. Hovhannes is so thorough and informative, and he lets you know every step of the way what’s going on so there are no surprises. Very calming, as well. Thanks for all you have done.

Going to the dentist is not something I look forward to. Dr. Hovhannes helped make the experience a positive one with his friendly and professional demeanor. He was knowledgeable and explained things to me in a way that was easy to understand. He showed me my x-rays and explained what he would be doing ahead of time and asked me if I had questions or concerns. Overall I’m very pleased and can look forward to my next cleaning without anxiety.
