Dental Fillings
What are Dental Fillings?
Dental fillings are used to replaced damaged teeth that are caused from decay or trauma. Historically, fillings were done using a metal material like silver, gold, or mercury. Modern fillings are performed using a tooth colored resin composite material instead, which look much better and are much more reliable than traditional fillings.
When Should I Get a Tooth Filling?
Many dental issues do not result in a total loss of the tooth, but rather a partial loss. In these situations, fillings are a great, low-cost treatment option to fix the damage. The most common reason to get a tooth filling is due to cavities. When a cavity occurs inside a tooth, a dentist is usually able to drill it out and fill the hole with a filling to repair it.
