Dental fillings are used to repair teeth that have been damaged by decay or minor fractures. This common procedure involves removing the decayed portion of the tooth and filling the cavity with a suitable material. The choice of filling material depends on the location of the cavity, the extent of the damage, and patient preferences. Common materials include composite resin, amalgam, gold, and porcelain.

Benefits of Dental Fillings:

• Restoration: Fillings restore the tooth’s structure and function, allowing you to chew and speak normally.
• Prevention: By sealing cavities, fillings prevent further decay and protect the tooth from additional damage.
• Aesthetics: Tooth-colored fillings blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, providing a pleasing appearance.
