A dental filling is a procedure completed in a single appointment to restore the function and appearance of a tooth damaged by decay or trauma.

​

Various materials are used for dental fillings, including amalgam, gold, composites, and ceramic. Each material has its advantages and limitations, and while no substitute matches the strength and health of a natural tooth, we will take the time to discuss the most suitable option for your individual needs. If you have concerns about the materials used or how your body may react, rest assured that we prioritize patient safety and comfort.
