Fillings

Fillings

A filling is most commonly used to fill an area of a tooth that has been removed due to decay, also known as a cavity. Fillings may also be used to repair cracked or broken teeth and are occasionally used to repair teeth that have been worn down. Damaged teeth can cause significant pain, and discomfort, and affect your smile’s appearance. By electing to have a filling placed in or on a damaged tooth, you can eliminate the pain and discomfort and restore your healthy and happy smile. Dental fillings are made of various materials including silver amalgam, tooth-colored composite resins, porcelain, or even gold, and your dental professional at Fairway Dental can help you to select the option that works best for you. If you think you might be in need of a filling, call our office today.

Dental fillings are the most conservative way to restore smaller areas of tooth decay. In a dental expert's hands, these types of restorations can be made to conserve as much of your natural tooth as possible while providing a restoration that is almost indistinguishable from the natural tooth. Both resin and porcelain fillings can be adhesively bonded to your natural tooth to add strength.
