Dental Fillings | Osuna Dental Care Albuquerque NM

A dental filling is used to repair a tooth damaged by decay. After removing the cavity, the area is cleaned and filled to prevent further damage and restore the tooth’s structure.

We offer two primary filling materials:

Composite Resin Fillings (Tooth-Colored)

• Blend naturally with your existing enamel

• Ideal for both front and back teeth

• Bond directly to the tooth for added strength

• Metal-free and mercury-free

Metal Filling Replacement

If you have old silver (amalgam) fillings, we can safely replace them with natural-looking, composite fillings to improve your smile’s appearance.
