What are the different types of fillings?

The most common type of filling is a composite filling, which is made of a tooth-colored resin and some additives. These are common for treating cavities or reshaping teeth. Other fillings can be made from gold, porcelain, and silver amalgam. There are several differences in durability, price, and aesthetics between all filling types.

What is the procedure for getting a filling?

First, our dentist will numb the area so you feel no pain. Then, we’ll carefully remove any damaged tooth enamel and clean the area to prepare it for the filling. Once we’re sure we’ve removed all tooth decay, we’ll fill the cavity with filling material and shape it to fit the rest of your tooth.

How do I take care of my filling?

Luckily, fillings are low-maintenance. Simply follow your usual brushing, flossing, and mouthwash rinsing steps. Make sure to visit the dentist regularly for your checkups.

How long do fillings last?

Patients who practice good dental hygiene can have fillings that last for years on end. We will also check your filling every time you come in for a regular dental checkup.
