Dental fillings are essential for repairing cavities and preventing further decay. At Aesthetic Dental, we use modern, durable, and natural-looking materials to restore your teeth safely and comfortably.
What Are Dental Fillings?
A dental filling is a restorative treatment used to repair a tooth damaged by decay, fracture, or wear. The decayed portion of the tooth is removed, and the cavity is filled with a material that restores the tooth’s shape, strength, and function.
Types of fillings we offer include:
- Tooth-colored composite fillings
- Porcelain inlays and onlays
- Glass ionomer fillings
- Mercury-free amalgam fillings (when needed)
When Are Dental Fillings Necessary?
Tooth Decay (Cavities)
Cavities caused by bacteria and sugar buildup can damage tooth enamel and deeper layers. Fillings stop decay and restore tooth function.
Cracked or Broken Teeth
Teeth weakened by trauma or wear can be repaired with fillings to restore strength and prevent further damage.
Worn Teeth
Teeth worn from grinding (bruxism) or acid erosion can benefit from composite or restorative fillings.
Replacing Old Fillings
Old, worn, or leaking fillings may need replacement to prevent decay and maintain tooth health.
