Fillings, Sealants, & Bonding

Dental fillings, sealants, and bonding are important dental services that help to restore and protect teeth. These services are used to treat a range of dental issues, including cavities, decay, and tooth damage.

Dental Fillings

Dental fillings are used to treat cavities and decay in teeth. The decayed portion of the tooth is removed, and the remaining area is filled with a material such as composite resin or amalgam. Fillings help to restore the structure of the tooth and prevent further decay.

Sealants

Dental sealants are used to protect teeth from decay. A thin, plastic coating is applied to the chewing surfaces of the molars and premolars, where decay is most likely to occur. The sealant acts as a barrier, protecting the tooth from bacteria and food particles.

Dental Bonding

Dental bonding is a cosmetic dental service used to improve the appearance of teeth. A tooth-colored resin material is applied to the tooth and shaped to match the natural contours of the tooth. Bonding can be used to repair chipped or cracked teeth, improve the appearance of discolored teeth, or close gaps between teeth.
