Dental Fillings

A dental filling is a standard tooth restoration procedure involving the careful removal of the decayed portion of a tooth and then filling the resulting hole with a durable filling material. Dentists have used tooth fillings for centuries because of the resilient wall of defense they provide for structurally compromised teeth.

You may need a filling if you’re experiencing tooth pain, sensitivity to hot or cold foods, or visible holes and pits in your teeth. Some patients may have cavities and not experience any symptoms at all, making regular visits to Preferred Family Dentistry all the more critical.
