Dental Filling

A filling is performed when a cavity has caused decay in the tooth that must be removed by your dentist. When this decay is removed, there must be something placed in the tooth to give it stability and prevent further decay in the area. This is where fillings come in – fillings are used to stabilize the tooth and fill in areas that have been damaged by tooth decay. If you do not get a filling, your tooth may be left exposed and succumb to fractures, chips, and decay that could lead to infection. At Sixth Avenue Dental, we practice preventative dentistry in order to save patients from the damage that tooth decay causes. However, if you do experience the effects of decay, then you can get it removed with no problem. Fillings are a common procedure, and you can go home knowing that your tooth is healthy and stable once again.

What if I already have amalgam fillings?\ Our dentist will examine your mouth and teeth to check for decay and other abnormalities. If you have an amalgam filling that is causing problems with your teeth, it can be removed and replaced will a filling that does not contain amalgam.
At our dental clinic, we use the latest technology to safely and effectively remove amalgam fillings from teeth and replace them with a white filling.
