Fillings Q & A

What are Dental Fillings?

– Dental Fillings are the most common procedure performed in a dental office. Most people have had at least one filling by the time they reach adult age. Fillings are used to treat diseased teeth (cavities), repair cracked or broken teeth, and rebuild worn teeth.

What are Fillings made out of?

– The most common filling materials used today are composite/resin or tooth colored fillings. Sometimes, amalgam filling may be used in situations where a tooth colored filling may not be sufficient. At Smiling Faces Dentistry, we thoroughly consult with you, the patient, about what material is best needed to achieve your goal.
