Dental Filling

What Is a Dental Filling?

A dental filling is a treatment used to restore the structure and integrity of a tooth damaged by decay, wear, or trauma. The procedure involves removing the affected area and filling the space with a durable material to protect the tooth and restore its shape and strength.
