What is a Dental Filling?

A dental filling is a restorative treatment used to repair teeth damaged by decay, cracks, or wear. The process involves removing the affected part of the tooth and filling the cavity with a durable material, such as composite resin, amalgam, or ceramic. This not only restores the tooth’s function and appearance but also helps prevent further decay and damage. Dental fillings are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, providing a strong, long-lasting solution that keeps your smile healthy and vibrant.
