Dental fillingsare restorative materials used to repair decayed or damaged teeth. When bacteria erode the enamel and form a cavity, a filling stops the decay from spreading and restores the tooth’s function and structure. Fillings also prevent further damage and protect against infection.

Ideal for front and visible teeth. Amalgam Fillings: Durable silver-colored fillings best suited for back teeth where chewing pressure is greatest. Ceramic Fillings: Strong, aesthetic, and stain-resistant. Often used for larger cavities or in patients with metal sensitivities. Glass Ionomer Fillings: Commonly used for children or fillings near the gumline, these release fluoride to help protect the tooth.
