Fillings

A dental filling is a restorative procedure that repairs teeth damaged by decay, chipping or wearing of tooth structure or exposure of root surface.

Tooth decay, caries, or cavities are quickly found during a routine dental appointment. Once detected, your dentist will remove the decayed material, clean the affected area, then fill the cavity with a composite resin or an amalgam filling. The filling materials close off access to bacteria and prevent further decay.

Amalgam

The "silver" filling is an alloy typically composed of mercury, silver, tin and copper along with other metallic elements. 

Resin/Composite

 The "tooth colored" filling is made up of resin and quartz particles. 

Bonding

The use of resin material to protect and repair enamel loss or root exposure do to gum recession.
