The process of a dental filling entails removal of all decayed and compromised tooth structure and replacement of missing tooth structure using a composite resin material. Not only do fillings treat existing tooth decay, but they replace missing tooth structure and help the patient avoid future cavities by recreating a smooth tooth surface that is more resistant to plaque and easier to keep clean. Tooth colored fillings come in many different shades, and often times are not visibly noticeable after they are placed, even on front teeth.
