What Are Dental Fillings?
Dental fillings are used to repair teeth that have been damaged by decay or injury. The procedure involves removing the decayed portion of the tooth and filling it with a material that restores its shape and function.

Types of Fillings
Composite Fillings: Made from a tooth-colored resin, composite fillings blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, making them an ideal choice for visible areas.
Amalgam Fillings: These silver-colored fillings are made from a mixture of metals and are known for their strength and durability, making them suitable for back teeth.
Glass Ionomer Fillings: Often used for children or in areas not subject to heavy chewing, these fillings release fluoride, which can help protect the tooth from further decay.
The Filling Procedure
Consultation: During your visit, our dentist will assess your tooth and discuss the best filling option for you.
Preparation: We’ll numb the area to ensure your comfort and remove any decayed tissue from the tooth.
Filling: The chosen filling material will be carefully placed and shaped to restore the tooth’s natural contour.
Final Check: Once the filling is in place, we’ll ensure your bite feels comfortable before you leave.
Caring for Your Fillings
To maintain the longevity of your fillings, consider these tips:

Practice good oral hygiene by brushing and flossing daily.

Visit us regularly for check-ups to monitor the condition of your fillings and overall dental health.
