Dental Fillings
Taking care of cavities early with dental fillings is crucial for preserving your dental health. Fillings not only restore the structure of your teeth but also prevent further decay. Using the latest materials and techniques, we provide fillings that are both durable and visually appealing, so you can smile with confidence.
What are dental fillings?
Dental fillings are materials used to repair cavities and restore the integrity of your teeth. When decay occurs, it creates a hole in the tooth that can lead to further damage if not treated. A filling seals this space, preventing bacteria from causing more harm and allowing you to maintain a healthy, functional tooth.
Types of dental fillings
We primarily utilize the following options due to their superior performance and aesthetic qualities. These materials are considered the best in contemporary dentistry for their durability, natural appearance, and overall effectiveness.
Composite Fillings: Composite fillings are made from a tooth-colored resin material that blends seamlessly with your natural teeth. They are ideal for small to medium-sized cavities and are often used in visible areas of the mouth because of their aesthetic appeal. Composite fillings bond directly to the tooth structure, providing strong and durable support. They are versatile and can be shaped to fit the contours of your tooth, ensuring a natural look and feel.
Ceramic Fillings: Ceramic fillings, also known as porcelain fillings, are highly durable and resistant to staining. These fillings are custom-made in a dental lab to match the exact color and shape of your natural teeth, making them an excellent choice for larger cavities or areas that require more strength and longevity. Ceramic fillings are valued for their natural appearance and robust performance, making them a popular choice for patients seeking both durability and aesthetics.
While there are other types of fillings available, these three provide the most effective and visually appealing solutions for most dental restoration needs.
The purpose of dental fillings
Dental fillings are commonly used to repair cavities and prevent further decay. When a tooth is affected by decay, the decayed portion is removed, and the filling material is applied to restore the tooth’s structure and function. Fillings can also be used to fix cracked or broken teeth, providing stability and protection. Additionally, they are effective in treating worn-down teeth from habits like teeth grinding, ensuring that your teeth remain strong and healthy.
Fillings tailored to your needs
We tailor each dental filling to fit your unique needs, ensuring a perfect match for your tooth structure and color. This personalized approach guarantees optimal results for both function and aesthetics.
