Dental Fillings

Dental fillings are crucial in the restoration of decayed, broken or damaged teeth. When cavities are left untreated, they can progress and lead to more severe dental problems such as tooth loss. Dental fillings can prevent the progression of cavities, restore the shape and function of the damaged tooth, and prevent further decay.

Our experienced team of dental professionals are dedicated to providing you with the best possible care for your teeth filling needs.

Dental fillings are restorative materials used to repair damaged teeth by treating the tiny holes in the enamel of decayed, broken, or damaged teeth. Fillings prevent further damage and restore the shape, function, and strength of the damaged tooth. The durability of fillings depends on the material used: amalgam, composite, ceramic, and glass ionomer.
