A filling is used to treat a cavity in a tooth. You may also need a filling to replace an old filling that is breaking down, to repair a chipped or cracked tooth, or to change the shape of the tooth.

At the start of the appointment, the dentist numbs the area where the new filling will be placed. They then remove the compromised area of the tooth, and fill the space with a filling material. Fillings restore decayed tooth structure back to normal shape and function. This means it feels natural to your tongue and the way you bite. Our filling material matches natural tooth colors and blends in, while also creating a bond to help strengthen the tooth.
