Tooth Fillings
Tooth fillings are a common dental procedure used to repair cavities and restore damaged teeth. Decayed portions are removed, and the space is filled with materials like composite resin, amalgam, or ceramic to protect and strengthen the tooth.
This treatment helps prevent further decay, reduces sensitivity, and restores normal function and appearance. Tooth fillings are quick, effective, and essential for maintaining long-term oral health and preserving natural teeth.
