Tooth restoration can restore the natural function of your teeth while also preventing further decay damage. These procedures can also improve the appearance of your teeth and are useful for cosmetic reasons.

Composite resins (white fillings): These are a newer material used for dental fillings that look the same as your teeth and do not expand and contract or damage your teeth like metal fillings. They are, however, just as strong and long-lasting as metal fillings. Glass ionomer: This material is opaque and acts more like a sealant than composite resins.
