Stop Cavities in Their Tracks

Dental fillings are one of the most common and effective ways to treat tooth decay. By removing decayed material and sealing the tooth with a durable filling, we restore strength, protect against further damage, and maintain your natural smile. At Smiles of Fulshear, Dr. Tan Ngo uses advanced materials that blend seamlessly with your teeth for a strong, natural-looking result.

What Are Dental Fillings? A Simple Solution for Tooth Decay

A dental filling is a restoration used to repair teeth that have been damaged by cavities or minor fractures. The procedure involves removing decayed portions of the tooth and replacing them with a filling material that seals and strengthens the tooth.

Dr. Ngo offers tooth-colored composite fillings that match the shade of your natural teeth, making them virtually invisible. Fillings not only restore function but also protect your tooth from future decay, helping you maintain a healthy, lasting smile.

Benefits of Dental Fillings

Fillings are essential for preserving natural teeth and stopping cavities before they spread.
