What is a Dental Filling?

Dental fillings are restorative materials used to repair teeth that have been damaged by decay, cracks, or fractures. By filling in the affected area, fillings restore the tooth’s structure, function, and aesthetics. They help prevent further decay, preserve the natural tooth, and promote long-term oral health.

 

Fillings vary in material and characteristics. Amalgam fillings, made from a mixture of metals, are durable and cost-effective but may not match the color of natural teeth. Composite resin offers a natural look but may not be as long-lasting as amalgam fillings. Ceramic and gold fillings offer excellent durability and asthma but are typically more expensive options.

The Dental Filling Procedure

 

Examination

Your dentist will examine your teeth and may take X-rays to identify areas of decay or damage that require filling. They will discuss the treatment plan with you and answer any questions you may have.

Number Icon One

Tooth Preparation

The affected tooth is numbed with local anesthesia. The decayed or damaged portion of the tooth is removed using a dental drill or laser.

Number Icon Two

Filling Placement

Once the tooth is prepared, your dentist will fill the cavity with a suitable filling material. Common options include amalgam (silver-colored) or composite resin (tooth-colored) fillings.

Number Icon Three

Polishing

After the filling is placed, your dentist will make final adjustments to ensure proper bite alignment and comfort. The filling is then polished to smooth out any rough edges and blend seamlessly with the surrounding tooth structure.

The Importance of Dental Fillings

 

Dental fillings are essential for restoring teeth that have been damaged by decay, cracks, or fractures. Without fillings, these issues can worsen over time, which can lead to further decay, infection, and even tooth loss. By filling cavities and repairing cracks, fillings help prevent the spread of decay and preserve the structural integrity of the tooth. Additionally, fillings restore the functionality of the tooth, allowing for comfortable chewing and speaking. With timely intervention and proper dental care, fillings can effectively address dental issues and maintain optimal oral health for the long term.
