Dental Fillings in Mooresville and Statesville, NC

Fillings are performed to remove decay and restore the affected tooth structure to its normal shape, function and color. It is called a filling because new material fills the hole that decay has created. If you have a tooth that requires a filling, we’ll remove the tooth decay, clean the affected area and then fill it with a bonded, tooth-colored composite resin material. If caught early enough, cavities can be treated with fillings easily and painlessly. If left untreated, decay can lead to tooth pain and/or infection causing further treatment such as a root canal or extraction to be needed. If you are having any tooth pain or think you may have a cavity, schedule an exam with us to get it checked out as soon as possible.
