Dental Filling: Inlay or Composite?

Why do you need a dental filling?

A dental filling replaces parts of your tooth that have been lost through wear, damage, and/or decay. First, your dentist will carefully remove all the decay from your tooth, clean the affected area, and then restore the cavity with a strong, durable filling.

Tooth decay dissolves your teeth, creating cavities.

These extensive procedures could also come with a more extensive bill as well. [Read more: http://www.advanceddds.com/blog/dental-filling-inlay-or-composite/]
