Restoration and Filling

A dental filling is one of the dental procedures that repairs a broken or badly damaged tooth. It is a process in which the damaged part of a tooth is removed and the area is filled with replacement material. In general, dental fillings protect teeth from further damage and restore the tooth's appearance and function.

Restorations are the various ways your dentist can replace or restore missing teeth or missing parts of tooth structure or structures that need to be removed to prevent tooth decay that could cause you pain in the future.
