Dental Fillings

Made of a combination of plastic and glass particles. Composite fillings have become popular due to their ability to match the color of teeth. This gives them a more natural look. The fillings bond directly to your tooth structure. This helps support the remaining tooth and prevents it from breaking. Composite fillings work best on front teeth and visible areas of teeth.

Also known as "silver," amalgam fillings have been used for more than a century by dentists and are well-known for their durability and strength. These fillings, which are more affordable than composite ones and highly resistant to wear, are ideal for filling back teeth cavities where the chewing force is greatest. They are still more visible than composite fillings due to their metallic color.

Gold fillings (known as inlays and onlays), made from a gold alloy, are considered the most durable by dentists. Due to their exceptional strength and high resistance to corrosive elements, they can last for more than 20 years. Gold fillings may be more expensive and require several visits for installation, but they are preferred because of their durability and performance.

These ceramic fillings (known as inlays and onlays) are made from porcelain and blend well with natural teeth. These fillings are highly durable and stain-resistant, making them a great choice for front tooth restoration. Ceramic fillings mimic natural teeth's hardness and are resistant to abrasion. However, they can cost as much as gold fillings and require more than one visit.

Fillings are made of acrylic, and a special type of glass. Glass ionomer materials release fluoride, which helps protect teeth from further decay. They are less durable than composite fillings and are used more often in fillings below the gum line or for small fillings.
