What Are Dental Fillings?

Dental fillings are used by dentists to restore teeth affected by decay, cavities, or fractures. The primary aim is to repair the tooth’s function, shape, and appearance while preventing further damage. Fillings help ensure long-term oral health by protecting the tooth from additional decay and deterioration. Different materials, such as composite resins, amalgam, and gold, may be used depending on the location of the filling and patient preference. Our dentist will guide you in choosing the best option to meet your needs.

The Dental Fillings Materials Guide:

Amalgam: A durable, silver-coloured alloy consisting of mercury, silver, tin, and copper. It has been a reliable filling material for many years.

Composite Resin: These tooth-coloured fillings blend seamlessly with natural teeth, making them ideal for visible areas, particularly the front teeth.

Gold: Renowned for its longevity and strength, gold fillings are often used where aesthetics are less critical.

Glass Ionomer: Comprising glass and organic acid, these fillings are suitable for smaller, less stressed areas of the mouth.
