Fillings
fillingDental filling is a dental restorative material used to restore the function, integrity and morphology of missing tooth structure. The structural loss typically results from caries or external trauma.
Types of Dental Filling:
Gold fillings- Gold inlays are well tolerated by gum tissues, and may last more than 20 years
Amalgam (silver) fillings - These are resistant to wear and relatively inexpensive
Composite (plastic) resins- These are matched to be the same color as your teeth and therefore used where a natural appearance is desired.
Porcelain fillings - These are produced to order in a lab and then bonded to the tooth.
