Fillings
For hundreds of years, dental fillings have been used to restore teeth. Dental fillings are placed in teeth where a dentist has had to remove tooth structure due to decay or fracture. In recent years filling materials have been substantially improved by many technological advancements. Although silver amalgam was the dominant choice years ago, today we have a couple other better options for tooth restoration including tooth colored resin composites that bond with adhesives and strengthen teeth, as well as glass ionomers that chemically bond to the tooth dentin, are less sensitive, and release fluoride to prevent recurrent decay.

We use these products for this type of treatment:
