Dental Fillings
Dental fillings are used to repair teeth that have been damaged by decay (cavities) or trauma. The procedure involves removing the decayed portion of the tooth and filling the cavity with a dental material such as Ceramic filling or tooth-colored composite resin. Fillings restore the function and structure of the tooth and prevent further decay.
Composite Fillings
This procedure involves the removal of infected carious tooth part which causes discomfort and pain and restoring it with a shade matched composite dental filling material Which:
