Dental fillings are used to repair cavities and small areas of decay in your teeth. The process involves removing the decayed portion of the tooth and then filling the cavity with a restorative material.
There are several types of filling materials available, including:
Amalgam: A silver-colored material that is strong and durable.
Composite resin: A tooth-colored material that can be matched to the shade of your natural teeth.
Gold: A strong and durable material that is often used for large fillings.
The choice of filling material will depend on the size of the cavity and your personal preferences.
Benefits of dental fillings:
Restores tooth function: Fillings can help restore the chewing and biting function of a damaged tooth.
Prevents further decay: By removing the decayed portion of the tooth, fillings can help prevent the cavity from spreading.
Improves appearance: Fillings can improve the appearance of your teeth by repairing damaged areas.
