Dental Fillings Treatment

What are Dental Fillings?

Dental fillings are a restorative treatment used to repair teeth that are damaged by decay (cavities), cracks, or minor fractures.

How it works:

  • The dentist removes the decayed / damaged portion of the tooth.
  • The cleaned cavity is then filled with a dental material to restore the tooth’s shape, strength, and function.
  • This prevents further decay and protects the tooth.
