Fillings

Patients hope to avoid dental caries with good home health habits and regular checkups. When you develop a cavity, we can remove the decay and replace it with a white filling. Composite or amalgam fillings repair damage and stop the spread of decay.

Many patients prefer durable composite resin (white) fillings to amalgams because they blend with natural tooth color and require less removal of healthy tooth structure. Amalgam fillings are less expensive, but they are dark and unsightly. You can discuss these options with your dentist and determine which choice will meet your needs.

For more information, call Livonia Dental Group. We can answer your questions and schedule you next appointment. Our office is located in the Detroit Metropolitan area near Redford, Farmington, and Northville. Visit the patient library to read about composite resin or amalgam fillings.
