Dental fillings are one of the most common and effective treatments for tooth decay.
When a cavity forms, removing the damaged portion and sealing the area with a filling helps restore strength and prevent further deterioration.
At Holmes Dental, we offer several types of filling materials:
- Composite (Tooth-Colored) Fillings
- Ceramic Fillings
The right material depends on the location of the tooth, the size of the cavity, and your personal preferences. Our dentists will guide you through the options to ensure the best solution for your smile.
