About Dental Fillings

A dental filling is used to restore teeth that have decay, are cracked, worn or have other damage. The tooth filling will restore beauty and function to the tooth as well as provide protection against future decay.

Dr. Parnaik may select from several materials when choosing a dental filling. Typically for teeth in the smile zone, Dr. Parnaik will use a white filling made of either porcelain or composite resin to mimic the appearance of a natural tooth. Often times teeth in the back of the mouth are restored using a gold dental filling which offers incredible strength and durability.
