TOOTH FILLINGS IN MASSET
What Does a Filling Actually Do?
When decay weakens part of a tooth, that compromised area must be removed. A filling replaces the lost structure, seals the space, and restores strength so the tooth can function normally again.
Beyond treating cavities, fillings also:
- Repair minor chips or worn enamel
- Reinforce weakened tooth surfaces
- Replace aging or cracked restorations
- Prevent bacteria from re-entering the tooth
