Fillings

Dental fillings are a reliable solution for repairing decay-damaged teeth. They can be made from various materials, such as composite resin or porcelain, to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. In this comprehensive section, we'll cover everything you need to know about the dental filling procedure. From the types of materials used to the step-by-step process, you'll gain valuable insights into how fillings restore tooth integrity. Discover why dental fillings can help maintain your oral health and beautiful smile.

What Materials Are Used in Most Fillings?

Amalgam fillings, made up of mercury, silver, tin, and copper, have been used for over a century to restore decayed teeth. They are durable and can withstand the pressures of biting and chewing. However, due to their appearance and potential sensitivity issues with certain individuals, many people choose alternative filling materials. 

Are Composite Fillings Better Then Silver Fillings?

Thanks to modern dentistry, we now have tooth-colored composite fillings that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also strong and safe. These fillings blend seamlessly with our natural teeth, eliminating any discoloration or noticeable marks. Unlike their metal counterparts, they require minimal removal of the original tooth, ensuring its strength is maintained. And most importantly, there's no risk of mercury poisoning associated with these composite fillings. 

Composite resin is a top choice for dental fillings, thanks to its realistic look and ease of application. This material offers a natural appearance that blends seamlessly with the tooth, while also requiring minimal tooth preparation. Its popularity stems from its ability to provide effective results without sacrificing aesthetics or causing unnecessary discomfort. With composite resin, patients can achieve both functional and cosmetic benefits in their dental treatments. 

What Should You Expect From Your Dental Filling Appointment?

If you're dealing with a cavity or tooth decay, it's crucial to discuss about dental filling procedure. During the appointment, I will numb the area and remove the decay using a drill. After clearing out the decay, a filling material is added to fill in the space. Composite fillings are made of a soft white plastic substance that is hardened with a blue light. This procedure not only restores your tooth but also ensures an aesthetically pleasing result. Don't let cavities ruin your smile.
