Although tooth enamel is the strongest substance in your body, the enamel can be damaged through decay, excessive wear, or trauma. 

Small to moderate areas of decay can be easily treated to restore the function and shape of the tooth. Composite (white) fillings which are amalgam free are most frequently used to repair the tooth and maintain the aesthetic appearance. 

Advanced areas of decay may require custom lab fabricated inlays, inlays, or crowns to provide a long lasting restoration.
