Stop the decay
Cavities only get bigger — a filling removes the decay before it reaches the nerve and requires a root canal.
The everyday workhorse of restorative dentistry — a same-day repair that stops decay and brings the tooth back to full function.
A filling treats a cavity by removing the decayed portion of the tooth and replacing it with a tooth-colored composite that bonds directly to the surrounding enamel.
Modern composite fillings match the natural color of your tooth so closely that most people cannot tell where the filling ends and the enamel begins. The procedure is quick, comfortable, and almost always completed in one visit.
