FILLINGS & BONDING


Fillings are used to fill cavities or holes in your tooth caused by decay. If a cavity is left untreated, the hole could continue to grow, bacteria will continue to spread and eventually the decay will lead to the need of a root canal procedure. Composite resins, or tooth-colored fillings, provide good durability and resistance to fracture in small- to mid-size fillings that need to withstand moderate pressure from the constant stress of chewing. They can be used on either front or back teeth. Take care of your teeth now before the damage continues and worsens to help prevent further tooth decay. Give us a call to schedule an appointment with one of our dentists.
