What Are Dental Fillings?
Dental fillings are restorative treatments used to repair teeth damaged by cavities, cracks, or wear. After removing the decayed portion of the tooth, a filling material is placed to restore its original shape, strength, and function.
At Perkadent, we primarily use tooth colored composite fillings that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, offering a more discreet and modern alternative to traditional metal fillings.
