Dental fillings treat cavities and minor tooth damage caused by decay or trauma. Whether it’s from biting something hard or grinding your teeth, a filling restores function and stops pain before it becomes worse.
About service:
Restore the function, integrity, and shape of a tooth that has been damaged by decay (a cavity) or minor trauma: In dentistry, minor trauma refers to small injuries or damage to a tooth that don’t involve major fractures or deep cracks. This can happen from:
Biting something hard (like ice or hard candy)
Grinding or clenching teeth (bruxism)
Accidental bumps (like getting hit in the mouth with a fork, ball, or during a fall)
Symptoms:
Here's how it works:
Diagnosis: The dentist identifies a cavity or damage in the tooth.
Cleaning: The decayed or damaged portion of the tooth is removed.
Filling: The cleaned area is filled with material to seal the space and prevent further decay.

Composite resin (tooth-colored, most popular)
Amalgam (silver-colored, very durable)
Ceramic (porcelain, more aesthetic)
Gold (very durable, but costly)
Glass ionomer (used mostly in children or near the gumline)
