If you have a tooth, or teeth, that has been damaged by decay – perhaps in the form of a cavity – the solution depends on the severity of the damage. The first step is often a filling, which can restore teeth to their normal function and prevent further decay.
The material we use for your filling depends on the location of the tooth we’re treating and the extent of the repair. Often we choose a composite filling, which is a tooth-colored plastic and glass mixture, but there are other options. Porcelain is another metal-free option for fillings, and we also offer traditional gold fillings. Amalgam fillings are also available upon request.
