What are dental fillings?
A tooth filling is a restorative treatment that repairs a tooth that has been damaged by decay or minor fractures. When getting a filling, your dentist will remove any decay in your tooth and then fill the leftover space with either composite resin, glass ionomer or amalgam. This restores the shape, function and strength of your tooth while helping to minimize any discomfort or sensitivity.
Types of dental fillings
The top choice for tooth restoration—a resin composite filling is made to match your tooth’s shade for a natural appearance.
Commonly used for small cavities, these fillings release fluoride, which can help prevent further tooth decay.
Silver tooth fillings (amalgam fillings) are durable, cost-effective and can contain metals such as silver, tin and copper.
