Fillings.

Fillings are a common type of dental treatment. These dental restorations involve using a composite material, which is then shaped and hardened to seal the affected areas of the tooth. The result is an aesthetically pleasing solution for decayed or cracked teeth that blends in seamlessly with the surrounding teeth.

What do we do if you need a filling?

If you need a filling, the dentist will first numb the tooth. Then they will remove the caries or decay from inside the tooth. After that, they will then prepare your tooth so that it can be filled. The last step is to place a filling in your tooth to restore it back to its original shape and structure.

How much does a tooth filling cost?

The cost of tooth fillings depends largely on the size and material used. Amalgam fillings are generally cheaper than composite resins, while larger fillings require more time and material than smaller ones. Additionally, dentist experience can factor into the cost of the filling.
