Restore Strength and Prevent Further Decay
Dental fillings are one of the most common and effective treatments for restoring teeth damaged by cavities. At Gulf Coast Dental Care, our dentists in Gulfport, Mississippi, use tooth-colored fillings to repair decay and protect your smile. These restorations are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth while restoring their shape, strength and function.
Fillings stop decay from spreading and help maintain the structure of your tooth. By treating cavities early, our dentists can prevent the need for more invasive procedures later on.
