Fillings are used to repair teeth that have decay or have small cracks in them.  The decay or crack is removed from the tooth and a composite resin material is packed into that area, creating a tooth-colored structure that isn’t noticeable and matches surrounding teeth.  Only white fillings are used in our office, so no more silver fillings to dull your smile!

Due to advances in x-ray technology and regular check-ups with our hygienists, most cavities can be found when they are small, making them easy to fill, rather than needing a more in-depth procedure.
