There are many types of fillings available, each with its own advantages. Some restorations have esthetics as their major requirement. Others require great strength and durability to fulfil their principal use, either as stand alone fillings or as foundations under crowns and permanent bridges. We educate our patients regarding options available, and come to a mutual conclusion regarding the best choices available for each situation.
As with most dental restorations, fillings are not permanent, and may someday have to be replaced. They are very durable and will last many years provided they are kept clean and properly maintained, giving you a long lasting, beautiful smile.
Reasons for Restorations (Fillings):
- Chipped teeth
- Closing space between teeth
- Cracked or broken
- Decayed teeth
- Worn Teeth
You will be given care instructions at the conclusion of our treatment. Good oral hygiene practices, eating habits, and regular dental visits will aid in the life of your new fillings.
