A dental filling is a common restorative procedure that removes decayed tooth tissue, cleans the area, and fills the cavity with materials like composite resin, amalgam, porcelain, or gold. It restores tooth structure, strength, and function, preventing further decay. Procedures typically take about an hour
- Composite (Tooth-Colored) Fillings: Made of resin, these are matched to your tooth color, making them excellent for visible areas (front teeth).
- Amalgam (Silver) Fillings: A durable, budget-friendly option made of mercury, silver, tin, and copper, typically used for back teeth.
- Glass Ionomer Cement (GIC): Releases fluoride to prevent further decay; often used for children's teeth or temporary solutions.
- Ceramic/Porcelain Fillings: Stain-resistant, tooth-colored, and highly aesthetic, usually in the premium price range.
- Gold Fillings: Highly durable, often lasting over 20 years, but require multiple visits and are generally the most expensive.
- The Filling Procedure
- Numbing: A local anesthetic is applied to ensure comfort during the procedure.
- Removal: The dentist removes the decayed or damaged portion of the tooth using a drill or laser.
- Cleaning: The area is cleaned to remove bacteria and debris.
- Filling: The chosen material is placed into the cavity, shaped, and sometimes hardened with a special light (for composite).
- Polishing: The filling is polished to match the tooth's surface and ensure a comfortable bit.
