Dental fillings

A dental filling is a common restorative procedure used to repair a tooth that has been damaged by a cavity or trauma. A cavity is an area of the tooth which has begun to decay. During a dental filling appointment, the dentist removes the decayed or damaged portion of the tooth. After that, the dentist will fill the cavity with a suitable material to restore its shape, function, and appearance.

Fillings help restore the strength and integrity of the tooth, prevent further decay, and alleviate discomfort or sensitivity. With proper oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, you can help prolong your fillings’ longevity.
