Restorative Dentistry
Dental Fillings
A filling restores tooth structure after decay or other localized damage has been removed and prepared for repair.
Repair small areas before they become larger problems.
When a tooth has a cavity or a limited area of damage, a filling may be an appropriate way to restore shape and function. The material and treatment approach depend on the location of the tooth, the amount of remaining healthy structure, and other clinical factors.
How do I know whether I need a filling?
A dental examination is needed to determine whether a filling or another type of restoration is appropriate. If you have discomfort, sensitivity, or a damaged tooth, call the office to arrange an evaluation.
