Space Closure with Tooth Colored Filling Patient Results

A new patient came in with complaints that he can see a dark spot on his molar and wanted to make sure that it wasn’t a cavity. Upon doing his examination, Dr. Joseph was able to determine that it was indeed a cavity. Dr. Joseph cleaned out the area and added composite material to fix the tooth.
