Multiple-Tooth Implant-Supported Bridges in Laguna Hills, CA
What Are Dental Fillings?
For minor to moderate tooth damage, a dental filling is a common restorative procedure. If your tooth has been weakened by decay (such as a cavity), or has small chips or fractures, we may recommend a filling. The composite dental filling helps restore your tooth to its natural shape and function.
Signs You May Need a Filling
Cavities don’t always make themselves obvious — here are six signs a filling may be in your near future:
Tooth Sensitivity
Lingering sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet foods can indicate decay has reached a layer of the tooth that warrants prompt attention.
