I can't express enough what an amazing dentist Dr. Binafard is. His staff is friendly and very helpful. I went in for a second opinion (I was told by another dentist that I need a root canal). It turns out I did not need one. Dr Binafard saved me a root canal and crown (major $$$$). He's honest and that's amazing!!!! I highly recommend him.

If you have a cavity, you’re not the only one. According to one survey, over 85% of Americans have had at least one tooth affected by decay by the age of 40. We give you the option of choosing a durable composite resin filling that more closely matches the color of your teeth or a silver amalgam filling to seal a cavity.
What is a Filling?
A filling is a way to restore a tooth damaged by decay back to its normal function and shape. When we give you a filling, we first remove the decayed tooth material, clean the affected area, and then fill the cleaned-out cavity with a filling material.
By closing off spaces where bacteria can enter, a filling also helps prevent further decay. Materials used for fillings include porcelain, a composite resin (tooth-colored fillings), and an amalgam (a metal alloy such as silver).
Filling Procedure
Before filling the cavity, we will first remove the decay and clean the affected area. The cleaned-out cavity will then be filled with one of the below mentioned materials.
Which Type of Filling is Best?
No one type of filling is best for everyone. What’s right for you will be determined by the extent of the repair, whether you have allergies to certain materials, where in your mouth the filling is needed, and the cost. Considerations for different materials include:
Amalgam (silver) fillings are resistant to wear and relatively inexpensive. However, due to their dark color, they are more noticeable than porcelain or composite restorations and are not usually used in very visible areas, such as front teeth.
Composite (plastic) resins are matched to be the same color as your teeth and therefore used where a natural appearance is desired. The ingredients are mixed and placed directly into the cavity, where they harden. Composites may not be the ideal material for large fillings as they may chip or wear over time. They can also become stained from coffee, tea or tobacco, and do not last as long as other types of fillings generally from three to 10 years.
Porcelain fillings are called inlays or onlays and are produced to order in a lab and then bonded to the tooth. They can be matched to the color of the tooth and resist staining. A porcelain restoration generally covers most of the tooth.
If decay or a fracture has damaged a large portion of the tooth, a crown, or cap, may be recommended. Decay that has reached the nerve may be treated in two ways: through root canal therapy (in which nerve damaged nerve is removed) or through a procedure called pulp capping (which attempts to keep the nerve alive).

I had some cap work done by Dr. Binafard in Norwalk and I am very pleased. He was very professional about the way he did things, very prompt. I was very satisfied with the way my teeth look and I will be sure to go back and have any other work done in the future with the Doctor. Thank you very much!

I come to Dr. Binafard’s office. He’s a wonderful dentist, he’s very thorough, and he goes over your whole treatment plan with you. He lets you know exactly what is the cause, what is your outcome, and what needs to be done from there. If you have any type of question he’s there to answer it for you and its not like somebody else comes to talk to you, he’s the person that lets you know and he sits down with you. He’s very kind, he’s a wonderful dentist, I’ve done fillings, crowns, and I even had my wisdom teeth pulled here. I’ve had no problems with any of my fillings, they feel wonderful and no sensitivity at all. Also, with my crowns I’ve never had any problems with them either. The great thing about Dr. Binafard is that he is very, very careful with you and he understands if your scared or if you feel uncomfortable. He’s there and he’s very calm and patient with you, which is great. This office is a very family oriented office because I bring my children here and he’s great with them, its not like he shoves the parents out and puts the kids in. I see everything going on and he doesn’t do things that don’t need done. My kids love him because he’s a great dentist. He has specialists that come in as well so you don’t have to worry about going to a different office. I would recommend Dr. B to anybody. Once you meet him, you’ll understand. Thank you!

Both of my kids get checked at Pioneer Dental. We LOVE it there! Everyone is super nice. I just recently took my 5 year old daughter there and was pleased with the results. The dentist took the time to explain to her what they were going to do and showed her all the tools they were going to use. There was a bit of crying but nothing too bad. I will keep bringing both my kids here.
