Fillings are used to "fill" or repair an area of a tooth that has decayed (a cavity). They are also used to repair cracked or broken teeth and teeth that have been worn down from things like nail-biting or tooth grinding.
Composite fillings, also known as white fillings, are a very popular choice, as the filling can be custom matched to the shade, texture and translucency of your natural teeth.
We are happy to offer this option, since most of our patients prefer natural-looking teeth instead of the mercury silver fillings that weaken the surrounding tooth structure and turn black in time.
