What Are Dental Fillings?
A simple restorative treatment for cavities and damaged teeth.
Dental fillings restore teeth affected by cavities or damage. They help repair the tooth, restore its normal function, and protect it from further decay.
Aloha Dental offers different filling materials, including composite resin, amalgam, and other options. Composite resin is a popular choice because it can be matched to the appearance of your existing teeth.
Who May Need a Dental Filling?
Early treatment can help restore a tooth before the damage becomes more extensive.
A dental filling may be recommended if you have:
- A cavity or tooth decay
- A damaged or broken tooth
- A tooth that needs to be restored after decay is removed
- Symptoms or dental findings that indicate a tooth needs restorative care
Your dentist will evaluate the affected tooth and recommend the appropriate treatment based on your individual needs.
