What is a Dental Filling?

Dental fillings are restorative treatments used to repair teeth damaged by decay or minor fractures. This procedure involves removing the decayed portion of the tooth and filling the area with a durable material to restore the tooth’s structure and function, preventing further decay and potential complications.

When Are Dental Fillings Necessary?

1.

Cavity Treatment

Dental fillings are primarily used to treat cavities caused by bacterial decay, preventing further damage to the tooth structure.

2.

Tooth Preservation

By removing decayed tissue and filling the resulting space with a dental filling, the natural tooth structure is preserved, avoiding the need for more extensive treatments like extractions.

3.

Crack or Fracture Repair

Dental fillings can also be used to repair minor cracks or fractures in teeth, restoring their functionality and appearance.

4.

Cosmetic Enhancement

Tooth-colored fillings can improve the aesthetics of your smile by seamlessly blending with your natural teeth, creating a harmonious look.

In the 24 to 64 age group, dental cavities affect 91% of adults.

The Importance of Dental Fillings

Dental fillings play a crucial role in maintaining your oral health:

  • Stop the progression of tooth decay
  • Restore tooth function and strength
