Dental Fillings
What are Dental Fillings?
Dental fillings are a common procedure used to repair teeth that have been damaged by decay. The filling material is used to fill the hole left by the decay, and it helps to restore the strength and function of the tooth.
What filling materials are available?
There are several different types of filling materials that can be used, including:
-
Amalgam fillings: These are made from a mixture of metals, including silver, copper, and tin. They are durable and long-lasting, but they are also noticeable in the mouth.
-
Composite fillings: These are made from a mixture of plastic and fine glass particles. They can be matched to the color of the tooth, making them less noticeable. They are not as durable as amalgam fillings, and they may need to be replaced sooner.
-
Gold fillings: These are made from a mixture of gold and other metals. They are durable and long-lasting, but they are also expensive.
-
Ceramic fillings: These are made from a mixture of ceramic and glass particles. They are matched to the color of the tooth and are very durable.

The choice of filling material will depend on the location of the filling, the size of the filling, and the patient's preferences. They are also expensive.
How long does the Filling treatment take?
The procedure for getting a filling is relatively simple. First, the dentist will numb the area around the tooth to be filled. Next, they will remove the decay from the tooth and clean the area. Then, they will place the filling material into the hole and shape it to fit the tooth. Finally, the dentist will polish the filling to make it smooth.
Will there be any discomfort after the treatment?
After the procedure, it is normal to experience some sensitivity to temperature or pressure for a few days. Your dentist will give you instructions on how to care for the tooth to ensure the filling lasts as long as possible.
