Dental Fillings
Dental fillings are used to treat tooth decay. The decayed part of the tooth is removed and replaced with a filling material, typically composite resin that matches your natural tooth color.
Key Benefits
- Stops the progression of tooth decay
- Repairs chipped, broken, or worn teeth
- Improves tooth function
- Natural-looking composite material
Procedure Overview
The dentist uses a drill to remove the decayed area of the tooth. The area is cleaned and prepared, then filled with a composite material which is hardened using a special light.
