Fillings

Dental fillings are an artificial substance that helps fill up the holes on your enamel caused due to cavities or accidents. Our dentist in Miami, FL can recommend the fillings treatment if,

Decay has caused a hole in your enamel, and it is not deep enough to impact your inner tooth pulp.
You have chipped or broken teeth with worn-off enamel, then that would expose your teeth to potential decay.
You want to restore the eroded or worn-out teeth.

To ensure that you do not feel any discomfort during treatment, our Miami, FL, dentist applies local anesthesia to the gums around the region where the dental filling would be applied. Once the gums have become numb, our experienced dentists will check the concerned area. The nature and the amount of filling will depend on the extent of the damage or decay.

After cleaning the concerned area and filling is applied to the holes to restore the original shape of the teeth. We will ensure that you feel comfortable during the whole procedure.
