Fillings Gallery

A filling replaces a portion of a tooth due to decay or breakage. Fillings may take one or two appointments. A filling that is made in your mouth takes one appointment and one that is made out of your mouth typically takes two appointments.

 

  • Before: The silver filling on the left had decay underneath it that was detected with an x-ray during a routine check-up.
  • After: The silver filling was removed and it was replaced with a tooth colored composite filling that took a single appointment.
  • Before: This is another silver filling that is showing its age and needed to be replaced.
  • After: The tooth was restored with a porcelain onlay since the cusps, which are the tips of the teeth, were too weak to be restored without being covered.
