What Is a Dental Filling?

A dental filling, commonly called a "filling", is an essential treatment that repairs teeth damaged by:

• Dental cavities – To stop the progression of decay
• Cracks or fractures – To restore the integrity of the tooth
• Tooth wear – To protect weakened enamel
• Defective old fillings – To replace worn fillings

This preventive treatment avoids more serious problems such as infections, dental abscesses or tooth loss.
