Effective Tooth Fillings in Kansas City, MO
A dental filling repairs a tooth cavity caused by decay by restoring its strength and function. During the procedure, our dentists remove the decayed portion, clean the area and fill the space with a durable material to prevent further damage. In addition to treating cavities, tooth fillings help repair chipped, cracked or worn teeth and provide long-lasting protection.
Cavity fillings are made from various materials, including composite resin, porcelain and amalgam, to ensure a natural look and strong reinforcement. Our dental team customizes each filling to match your tooth’s color and structure and fit comfortably in your mouth. Whether you need a new dental filling or a replacement, we offer seamless solutions designed for durability and aesthetics.
