Dental fillings are restorative treatments used to repair teeth affected by cavities or minor fractures. They “fill” the space left after decayed material is removed, restoring the tooth's shape and functionality while preventing further damage.

Amalgam: Silver-toned and highly durable.

Toothache or sensitivity to hot/cold
Dark spots or visible holes
Food consistently getting stuck
