Dental Fillings in Brighton
- - When there’s a cavity to fix, there’s a hole in the tooth that needs to be filled. Fillings are placed to fill in the hole in the tooth that remains after removing the cavity/infection from the tooth.
- - Fillings can be tooth colored. You may have heard of these fillings called composite or resin.
- - Some fillings are silver using a material called amalgam.
