Tooth Fillings

The primary benefit of tooth fillings is their ability to restore the structural integrity of decayed or damaged teeth, preventing further deterioration and preserving the natural tooth structure. By filling cavities, tooth fillings halt the progression of decay, reducing the risk of more severe dental issues such as infections or tooth loss. Additionally, fillings alleviate discomfort and sensitivity, restoring normal oral function and allowing individuals to chew and speak without hindrance.

What are tooth fillings?

A tooth filling is a common dental procedure used to repair cavities or areas of tooth decay. During the procedure, the dentist removes the decayed portion of the tooth and fills the space with a suitable material, such as amalgam, composite resin, or ceramic, to restore the tooth’s structure, strength, and function. Fillings help prevent further decay and restore the integrity of the tooth, allowing for normal chewing and speaking abilities.
