Tooth Filling

Most people need at least one tooth filling in their lifetime. Dental fillings are most commonly used to treat cavities, but they’re also used to repair cracked or broken teeth, or teeth that have been worn down over time.

Most dental filling procedures feature the following:

• Topical anesthetic to numb the area of treatment
• removal from the affected teeth
• Tooth restoration using a composite or amalgam filling
• Bite check to make sure your teeth align comfortably
