Tooth decay is one of the most common chronic health conditions in the United States. A filling can save your tooth from a more serious infection and may prevent your need for a root canal. Smiling Faces uses only metal-free fillings to fix and restore your teeth. For an evaluation, contact our office today or request an appointment online.
Fillings And Restorative Procedures 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.
