A dental filling is a restoration used to repair minor to moderate tooth damage. We may recommend a filling if a tooth has been damaged by decay (such as a cavity) or suffers from minor fracturing or chipping. Dental fillings restore the tooth to its original structure and function, returning your smile to good health. There are two main types of dental fillings available:

• Amalgam Fillings: Known for their durability, amalgam fillings are made from a mixture of metals and are ideal for filling cavities in the back teeth.
• Composite Fillings: Made from tooth-colored resin, composite fillings blend seamlessly with your natural teeth and are a popular choice for visible areas.
• 
  

The process for placing a dental filling requires just one comfortable visit. Our dentists will remove the decayed and damaged portion of the tooth, clean it thoroughly, and then fill the area with the chosen filling material. The filling is then shaped to match your tooth's natural contour and hardened for a lasting restoration.

If one of your teeth is decayed or damaged, a dental filling may be an excellent choice for restoring your oral health and function. We invite you to call or visit us today to learn more about dental fillings and schedule your next appointment with Dr. Lindsey Hall or Dr. Katherine Stidham. We look forward to caring for your smile!
