Fillings and Crowns

Fillings are done when dental decay has destroyed the tooth and requires the bacteria to be removed. The decay is removed, and the tooth is filled with a variety of materials.  Resin, or the white material, is used in front and back teeth.  The silver fillings are used in back teeth.  Stainless steel crowns are placed when too much of the tooth has been destroyed by decay and there is not enough tooth structure to support the filling.
