When a tooth has become damaged from decay, causing a cavity in it, oftentimes the first line of defense is to treat the tooth with a dental filling.

Previous dental fillings were completed using a silver colored metal alloy called amalgam, but advances have been made in dental materials allowing Dr. Lauren to provide naturally looking tooth-colored dental fillings.

Many of the outdated amalgam fillings could stand to be updated, and Dr. Lauren uses conscientious clinical judgement to discern whether any treatment recommendations are necessary for an individual tooth.
