Fillings

Dental fillings are a popular dental treatment that is used to repair damaged teeth and treat cavities. These fillings are usually made of materials such as composite resin (tooth colored), or amalgam (silver). 

​

The process of getting a dental filling typically involves numbing the affected tooth and removing the decayed or fractured portion of the tooth. Once the decay is removed or the fractured area is prepped, the dentist will fill the area with a filling material. The filling is then shaped and polished to match the natural shape of the tooth.
