About Hetrick Family Dentistry

Hetrick Family Dentistry operates on Southwest 89th Street in the South Oklahoma City area of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. A filling repairs a tooth after decay has been cleaned out, most often using tooth-coloured composite resin that is shaped and bonded to blend with the surrounding tooth. It is usually completed in a single appointment and is one of the most routine restorative procedures in dentistry.

Payment and insurance arrangements vary by practice and by treatment, so it is worth asking directly what is covered and what options exist for anything that is not, rather than assuming either way. Getting that clarified before treatment starts avoids surprises once it is underway.

Beyond any single treatment, most dental visits start with an examination — checking for decay, reviewing the gums, and looking at existing fillings or crowns — often alongside X-rays where there is a reason to look between or beneath teeth. That groundwork is what a dentist uses to explain any findings and set out next steps before you leave.

Routine attendance, roughly every six months for most people, is what actually keeps small problems small. A lot of decay and gum disease develops without any pain in its early stages, which is why regular checkups matter even when nothing seems to be wrong, rather than only booking an appointment once something hurts.

A first appointment at a new practice typically covers a full examination, a review of your dental and medical history, and a professional cleaning, with X-rays if you do not have recent ones. It is also a reasonable time to raise any longer-term concerns, cosmetic or otherwise, so they can be factored into a plan going forward.

Day-to-day oral health still comes down to the basics between visits — brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, cleaning between the teeth, and limiting how often sugary food and drink appear through the day matters more than the total amount eaten at once. Regular professional care is what catches whatever those habits do not.

Can a filling fall out?
Yes, and it is reasonably common, usually from decay developing underneath, from chewing something hard, or simply from age. A lost filling leaves the tooth exposed, so it should be looked at before the cavity gets deeper.
How long do dental fillings last?
It varies with the material, the size of the filling, and where it sits in the mouth. Fillings are not permanent — they wear, chip, and eventually leak at the edges, which is one reason routine check-ups examine existing work as well as looking for new decay.
What causes bad breath and can a dentist help?
Persistent bad breath most often comes from bacteria on the tongue and around the gumline, and gum disease is a frequent underlying cause. Because it is usually oral in origin, a dental examination is a sensible first step.

The entire staff is super helpful and kind! Shelley does a great job with cleanings and is always as gentle as possible while communicating what she's doing and helpful tips for oral care. Shanetha is caring and listens to concerns she's presented with and does an amazing job ensuring you're healthy, comfortable, and aware of prices and options before anything occurs.

I've been a patient of Dr. Toft for over 40 years and always got great treatment. Treatment has still been great with Dr. Hetrick and I expect it to continue to be.

For nearly the past 5 years I have been treated by both Dr Toft and Dr Hetrick. First I wish Dr Toft a great retirement. Both have been especially great in my dental care. Very professional, extremely experienced, I really appreciate their Esprit de Corps and Integrity.

My husband and I were looking for a new dentist and as always were apprehensive trying someone new. However, we were so pleased with the entire office. The staff is friendly and professional and Dr. Hetrick and Dr. Collier were outstanding! We are so happy to have found our new dentists! Thank you for a wonderful experience yesterday! Mike and Leah

Dr. Hetrick has taken care of my dental needs for years. And I need a lot of dental work! She does excellent work, and is so kind. Because of her gentle, encouraging words, I no longer need nitrous oxide gas during procedures! And I was a big baby! All of the office staff is amazing! So happy with my dental care!
