A
dental filling is a procedure to restore tooth structure after tooth decay or other enamel damage has been removed.
When is a dental filling necessary?
- Cavities (primary and deep)
- Cracked and chipped teeth
- Increased tooth sensitivity
- Restoration after canal treatment
The filling procedure involves removing the diseased tissue and filling the cavity with a special material that restores chewing function and protects the tooth from recurrent decay. Modern filling materials allow not only to reliably restore the tooth, but also to preserve its natural appearance.
