What Are Dental Fillings?

Dental fillings are materials used to fill cavities or repair minor damage in teeth. They restore the tooth’s shape, function, and strength after decay or damage has been treated. Fillings help prevent further decay and restore your ability to chew and speak comfortably.

Types of Dental Fillings We Offer

  • Composite Fillings: These tooth-colored fillings blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, making them an excellent choice for visible areas. They provide a strong and aesthetically pleasing solution for cavities and minor repairs.
  • Ceramic Fillings: Made from porcelain, ceramic fillings are highly durable and mimic the natural appearance of your teeth. They are an excellent option for those seeking both strength and aesthetics.
  • Glass Ionomer Fillings: These fillings release fluoride, which helps protect the tooth from further decay. They are often used for fillings below the gum line or in areas that are less visible.
