Tooth Fillings

Tooth fillings are a material that helps to restore your missing tooth structure caused due to decay or damage. The procedure involves removing the decayed material, cleaning the affected area, and filling that area with a filling material. As the teeth are now properly sealed, fillings can reduce the chances of further decay.

If you have dental decay, do not delay your visit to the dentist. The decay and the bacteria can spread inside your mouth and lead to complex issues. When you visit our dental office in Plantation, FL, our dentist will thoroughly check your mouth and decide if you have a cavity that needs to be filled. They will use a small mirror to examine every surface of your teeth. They might also ask you to get a dental X-ray to understand your conditions better. The exact treatment procedure would depend on the damage the decay has caused to your teeth.
