Address decay or a damaged restoration with an approach that considers the amount of healthy tooth remaining.
Arrange a visit ↗Understanding tooth-colored fillings.
A filling restores a portion of a tooth. Tooth-colored materials can blend with surrounding tooth structure, while the choice of restoration also depends on the size and location of the affected area. An examination helps establish whether a filling is suitable or whether the tooth needs a different form of care.
What we can discuss.
- A cavity identified during an examination
- A filling that is worn, damaged, or missing
- A local area of tooth damage needing assessment

A LITTLE MORE CLARITY
Your questions, answered.
Can an old metal filling be assessed?
Yes. Ask about its condition and whether treatment is needed. Replacement is an individual clinical decision.
What if my tooth needs more than a filling?
Your dentist will explain the findings and discuss other appropriate options, which may include a crown.
What if my bite feels different afterward?
Contact the practice so the restoration can be reviewed rather than trying to adjust it yourself.
