Fillings FAQ's
Dental fillings are materials used to repair and restore teeth that have been damaged by decay, cavities, or minor fractures. Fillings help to restore the function and structure of the tooth, prevent further decay, and restore the natural appearance of the smile.
There are several types of dental fillings, including amalgam (silver) fillings, composite (tooth-colored) fillings, gold fillings, and ceramic (porcelain) fillings. Each type of filling has its advantages and disadvantages in terms of durability, appearance, and cost, and the choice of filling material depends on factors such as the location and extent of the cavity, aesthetic preferences, and budget.
You may need a filling if you experience symptoms such as tooth pain or sensitivity, visible pits or holes in the teeth, or rough or jagged edges on the tooth surface. Additionally, your dentist may detect cavities or signs of decay during a dental exam or X-rays and recommend a filling to restore the affected tooth.
The process for getting a filling typically involves numbing the tooth and surrounding area with a local anesthetic to ensure a comfortable experience. The dentist then removes the decayed or damaged portion of the tooth, cleans the cavity, and fills it with the chosen filling material. The filling is shaped and polished to match the natural contours of the tooth and ensure a comfortable bite.
While dental fillings are designed to be long-lasting, they may eventually wear down, become discolored, or need to be replaced due to normal wear and tear, changes in the surrounding teeth, or recurrent decay. With proper care and maintenance, dental fillings can last for many years before needing to be replaced.
