Dental fillings are one of the most common restorative treatments used to repair a decayed or damaged tooth. Cavities, caused by the buildup of plaque and bacteria, can weaken the tooth and lead to pain or infection if not treated promptly. A filling restores the tooth’s structure, stops further decay, and prevents more severe dental issues.

Types of Fillings and the Procedure

At our clinic, we offer several types of fillings, including composite resin (tooth-colored), amalgam, and ceramic. Composite fillings are the most popular choice for their natural appearance and durability. During the procedure, we remove the decayed portion of the tooth, clean the cavity, and fill it with a durable material that blends seamlessly with your natural teeth. This restores the tooth’s function while maintaining its appearance.
