Dental Fillings are used to replace the parts of the tooth that have been lost, due to a number of reasons include decay and accidental damage.
When a tooth is compromised by decay and a cavity or hole has developed, the decayed tooth structure is removed and a filling is used to restore the tooth back to its original shape and function.
How filling procedures works?:
