Dental Fillings

Dental fillings repair cavities or damaged areas of a tooth by filling them with materials such as composite resin, amalgam, or porcelain. This restores the tooth’s integrity, function, and appearance while preventing further decay.

Dental Fillings: What to Expect

The filling process begins with your dentist removing the decayed portion of the tooth and thoroughly cleaning the affected area. Once the cavity is cleaned, the area is prepared for the composite resin filling. Once the filling is complete, it is shaped and polished to blend seamlessly with the natural tooth.

The Benefits of Dental Fillings

Composite dental fillings offer an aesthetically pleasing solution that can be applied to both front and back teeth. The bonding process reinforces the tooth structure, preserving the natural tooth while providing additional support. Most insurance plans cover dental fillings, allowing you to restore your teeth with confidence and peace of mind.
