When a Dental Filling May Be Needed
A dental filling may be recommended if you have a cavity, minor tooth damage, or wear that affects the structure of the tooth. Treating the problem early can help prevent further decay and reduce the need for more extensive dental treatment later.
What to Expect During the Treatment
During the procedure, the affected area is carefully cleaned and the damaged portion of the tooth is removed. The tooth is then restored with a filling material shaped to fit comfortably and support normal function.
