Dental Fillings at Twin City
Dental Filling
Dental fillings are a common treatment used to repair teeth that have been damaged by decay or trauma. During the filling procedure, the dentist removes the decayed portion of the tooth and fills the cavity with a durable material to restore its shape and function.
Fillings can be made from various materials, including amalgam (metal), composite resin (tooth-colored), porcelain, or gold. Each type of filling has its own advantages and considerations, such as durability, aesthetics, and cost.
