Dental Fillings
Tooth colored composite, placed the same visit.
What it is
A crown is made to fit and seated here, so a broken tooth is two trips down the road instead of four to Lubbock.
At Post Family Dentistry, we use modern tooth-colored fillings to repair cavities and restore tooth structure. Dr. Xochitl Anderton, DDS, provides comfortable, precise filling treatments that blend naturally with your smile.
