Fillings and Sealants
Dental fillings repair cavities and restore tooth function. They also prevent further decay, maintain tooth structure, and ensure a healthy bite. Dental sealants create a barrier against plaque, providing a long-lasting defense against cavities.
Comprehensive Care for Tooth Fillings and Dental Sealants
Understanding Tooth Fillings
Tooth decay and mild cavities are often treated using fillings, which are a successful and safe restorative dental procedure. Our practice provides two filling options – composite and amalgam. The type used depends on your individual needs, but we typically suggest composite fillings. Composite materials match the color of natural teeth, so they have an aesthetically pleasing, natural appearance, particularly for visible teeth. Overall, fillings are a commonly performed dental procedure that restores damaged teeth in a safe, effective manner. We tailor the filling type to your oral health needs while considering aesthetics.
Understanding Dental Sealants
Sealants act as a protective barrier against tooth decay. They are applied as a thin layer painted directly onto the teeth. This process is quick and painless. While often used for children, sealants can also help prevent cavities in adults. As an easy and economical solution, applying sealants is an effective way to guard against cavities and the requirement for fillings down the road.
