Fillings

Fillings are dental restorations used to repair teeth damaged by decay, cracks, or fractures. Composite fillings, made from a tooth-colored plastic and glass mixture, are commonly used because they blend seamlessly with natural teeth, maintaining the aesthetics of your smile. The primary function of a filling is to remove the decayed portion of a tooth and fill the cavity, preventing further decay and strengthening the tooth. Composite fillings are particularly beneficial as they bond directly to the tooth structure, providing additional support and can also be used for cosmetic purposes such as fixing discolored or misshapen teeth.

Choosing a dentist for your filling procedure ensures you receive expert care and a personalized treatment plan. The process involves removing the decayed portion, applying the composite filling material in layers, and shaping and polishing it to match your natural tooth. This quick procedure can typically be completed in a single visit. The benefits of composite fillings include restoring functionality, preventing further decay, and providing a natural appearance. Their bonding strength and versatility make them an excellent choice for a durable, aesthetically pleasing solution to dental issues.
