Dental Fillings
What is a Dental Filling?
A dental filling is used to treat a cavity or small area of tooth damage. It helps restore the tooth’s shape, strength, and function after decay has been removed.
Fillings stop further decay, protect the inner layers of your tooth, and keep your smile looking natural — especially when done with modern, tooth-colored materials.
