The role of fillings
Fillings are common dental procedures used to repair the function and appearance of damaged teeth. Whether it’s decay, fractures, or wear, these treatments restore the tooth’s integrity and prevent further dental issues.
Choosing the right material
Fillings and restorations come in various materials, including amalgam, composite, and porcelain. Your dentist will help you choose the best option based on the tooth’s location, extent of decay, and aesthetic considerations.
The filling procedure explained
The process involves removing decayed or damaged tooth material, cleaning the affected area, and then filling or covering the tooth with the chosen material. These procedures are typically completed in one visit, with little to no discomfort.
