Fillings

Fillings are the first line of defense to preserve the integrity of a tooth that has suffered wear, breakage or decay.

When it comes to dental restoration, fillings are the most conservative way to protect and fix a damaged tooth. The composite resin or “tooth-colored” fillings are made of glass and plastic materials. They’re then bonded to the tooth to create a tight, strong seal, protecting against further dental problems.

Quick Facts:

When a filling is placed, the decayed part of the tooth is removed.
Minimal amounts of the tooth’s natural structure need to be removed to fill a cavity.
The type of filling used depends on the extent of the damage, where the damaged tooth is located and if the patient is allergic to certain materials.
Garden Home Dental also offers dental crowns for teeth that are too damaged to be filled.
