Fillings

Date Posted: 1/1/2002

Question
Can all teeth with holes or fractures be filled?

Answer
Most teeth with small to moderate decay or fractures are easily restored to function with fillings. Where decay is extensive or fractures are large, more complex treatment may be required. Some teeth can be so badly broken down or fractured that they are unable to be saved.
