Restorative Fillings
Most people will get a cavity, chip a tooth or break a tooth in their lifetime. Due to the acidity in our diets, a cavity is one of the most common reasons a person would need a restorative filling. This procedure involves removing the decayed area of the tooth to stop the progression of the disease and then placing a beautiful tooth colored filling in the tooth to fill the void. The goal is to not let the decay reach the nerve of the tooth, this is one of the reasons regular checkups are so important.
