Fillings
When a tooth is affected by decay, it’s crucial to restore it promptly to prevent further damage. A filling is the most common solution, where the decayed portion of the tooth is removed and replaced with a restorative material. At our practice, we offer both composite (tooth-colored) fillings and traditional amalgam fillings, allowing you to choose the option that best suits your needs.
Composite fillings are an excellent choice for those seeking a natural-looking restoration. The material used closely matches the color of your natural teeth, making it ideal for treating cavities in visible areas. Not only do composite fillings offer a more aesthetically pleasing result, but they also require less removal of the tooth structure compared to amalgam fillings. This conservative approach helps preserve more of your natural tooth.
When Are Composite Fillings Used?
Composite fillings are versatile and can be used in various situations, including:
- Treating cavities (decayed teeth)
- Repairing chipped or broken teeth
- Reducing gaps between teeth for a more uniform appearance
Our goal is to restore your teeth with precision and care, ensuring that your fillings are not only functional but also blend seamlessly with your natural smile. Whether you need a small filling or a more extensive restoration, our team is here to provide you with the highest quality dental care.
