Fillings

Fillings are needed to fill in cavities caused by tooth decay. You can choose between the traditional amalgam fillings and tooth-coloured fillings. Tooth-coloured fillings are made from durable plastics called composite resins and are not only functional, but natural-looking as well. You may also decide to replace your old amalgam fillings with tooth-coloured ones and restore the confidence in your smile. A filling is a way to restore a tooth damaged by decay back to its normal function and shape. When a dentist gives you a filling, he or she first removes the decayed tooth material, cleans the affected area, and then fills the cleaned out cavity with a filling material.
