Why you might need dental fillings
Cavity
The most common reason for dental fillings in Mansfield is to treat cavities caused by tooth decay. When decay breaks down the tooth structure, dental fillings help restore strength and prevent further damage.
Broken Teeth
Teeth that are cracked or broken may require dental fillings to repair the structure and protect the tooth from worsening damage.
Worn Teeth
Daily wear from grinding or bite issues can lead to the need for dental fillings to rebuild the tooth and restore proper function.
Replace Metal Filling
Many patients choose to upgrade old metal fillings with modern dental fillings for a more natural look. Composite dental fillings are also used when older fillings begin to fail.
I was in very bad pain and up all night with no rest and [Dr. Custer] was able to rearrange the schedule and get me in. Very good experience. The staff are extremely friendly. Would highly recommend this dentist to anyone. Thank you Dr. Custer and staff for all you did. This is now my new dentist.
