Dental Fillings Honolulu Hi

Restorative treatment to repair and strengthen decayed teeth.

A dental filling is a dental material used to repair the look & function of a tooth damaged by tooth decay. You may wonder, “If it’s called a filling, why does it involve drilling a hole?” Fillings aren’t like Band-Aids: we can’t just cover up the damage & expect it to get better. Unlike almost every other part of your body, teeth cannot heal when damaged or infected. To restore your tooth to how it should be, we must first remove the decay. That’s what we’re doing when we use the drill when applying a filling. Yes, it does make the hole caused by the decay a little bigger temporarily, but it’s better than leaving any decay that could hurt your tooth more in the long run.

What is Dental Filling?

Fillings are used to fill cavities, or small holes, caused by bacterial acids that have eaten through your tooth. If left untreated, cavities can expand, carving deeper into your tooth & ultimately destroying it. Fillings halt the decay process, thereby saving your tooth & preventing more cost & discomfort in the future.

Transformative effects

Dental fillings deliver transformative effects by restoring decayed teeth, relieving pain, and preserving natural tooth structure. With their seamless integration and durability, fillings provide long-lasting oral health and a confident smile.
