What are Dental Fillings?
Dental Fillings play a crucial role in treating cavities and restoring the structural integrity of damaged teeth. Whether you're experiencing tooth decay, minor fractures, or need to replace old fillings, this routine procedure offers a straightforward and effective solution.
The Benefits of Dental Fillings:
- Cavity Treatment: Dental Fillings effectively treat cavities, preventing further decay and preserving the health of the affected tooth.
- Tooth Restoration: Fillings restore the natural shape and function of a tooth, ensuring optimal oral health and preventing complications.
- Aesthetic Enhancement: Modern dental materials allow for tooth-colored fillings, blending seamlessly with your natural teeth for a discreet and aesthetically pleasing result.
Types of Dental Fillings:
- Composite Fillings: Made of a mixture of plastic and fine glass particles, composite fillings match the color of natural teeth, providing a seamless and aesthetically pleasing option.
- Amalgam Fillings: Composed of a mixture of metals, including silver, tin, copper, and mercury, amalgam fillings are durable and suitable for restoring back teeth.
- Ceramic Fillings: Constructed from porcelain or ceramic materials, these fillings are both durable and aesthetically pleasing, offering a natural appearance.
How Dental Fillings Work:

Duration and Process:
- Efficiency: Dental Fillings are typically completed in a single appointment, making it a convenient and efficient procedure.
