Natural-Looking Restorations at Forest Road Dental

At Forest Road Dental, we offer both composite (white) and porcelain (ceramic) fillings to restore teeth affected by cavities or decay—giving you strong, natural-looking, and long-lasting results.

Why Do I Need a Filling?

Tooth decay occurs when bacteria eat away at the enamel. Left untreated, it can lead to pain, infection, and even tooth loss.

A filling helps:

• Stop the decay from spreading

• Rebuild the damaged part of your tooth

• Restore your tooth’s function and appearance

How to Prevent Tooth Decay

We’re here to help if you need a filling, but prevention is always the best approach! Here's how to protect your teeth:

• Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste

• Floss every night before bed

• Get regular dental check-ups and professional cleans

• Ask us about fissure sealants—great for children or teeth with deep grooves
