What Tooth Fillings Are
Tooth fillings are one of the most common and effective ways to treat cavities and restore a tooth's strength. When plaque and bacteria wear away enamel, they leave behind decay that can spread if not treated. A filling removes the damage and restores the tooth so it functions like new.
At Method Modern Dentistry in Alpharetta and Roswell, GA, Dr. Alex Franco uses advanced techniques and tooth-colored composite resin to create natural-looking results. The decayed area is gently cleaned out, then filled and shaped to match the rest of your tooth. The entire procedure is quick, minimally invasive, and usually done in one visit.
