Fillings
For hundreds of years, dental fillings have
been used to restore teeth. Dental fillings are placed in teeth where a
dentist has had to remove tooth structure due to decay or fracture. In recent
years filling materials have been substantially improved by many technological
advancements. Although silver amalgam was the dominant choice years ago,

Today, many modern materials can be used to mimic the color and texture of natural teeth.We use these products for this type of treatment:
