What Is A Filling?

A dental filling is used to replace missing or damaged tooth material. Either from trauma, grinding or the presence of cavities, fillings can help restore your teeth. Most commonly used to repair cavity damage, fillings are one of the most common restorative dental procedures.

During a filling, your dentist will remove any decayed portion of the tooth before filling the hole or space with a dental filling. Read on to learn more about the types of fillings, and if it’s time to schedule your appointment, reach out to our office today! 

Types Of Fillings

Depending on the severity of the damage, the location of the filling and your budget, there are different types of fillings available. Here are the most common materials:

  • Silver amalgam – a mixture of various metals including silver, copper, tin and zinc
  • Porcelain – can last up to 15 years and costs about as much as gold fillings
  • Gold – one of the most expensive filling options but is strong and long-lasting
  • Composite resin – the most versatile material, can be used for chips, on front teeth and to fill cavities
  • Glass ionomer – used primarily as temporary fillings in adults

Choosing a filling is a personal decision. Make sure you talk to your dentist about all your options before receiving your dental filling.
