Filling Care: Procedure
Modern Dental Fillings include ceramic and plastic compounds that closely match the look of natural teeth. These materials, often called composite or tooth-colored fillings, are commonly used on front teeth and can also be used on back teeth depending on the size and location of the cavity. Dental Fillings help restore strength and protect teeth after decay.
What’s right for your child?
Several factors affect the success and lifespan of Dental Fillings, including:
The components used in the filling material
The amount of tooth structure remaining
Where and how the filling is placed
The chewing load that the tooth will have to bear
The length and number of visits needed to prepare and adjust the restored tooth
Before treatment begins, your doctor will explain all options and guide you in choosing the best solution. You can also learn more about choosing the right pediatric dentist for your child’s long-term dental care.
