High-Quality Tooth Filling Services
What Are Dental Fillings? A filling is a method that we use to restore a tooth that has been damaged by decay. The damaged tooth is cleaned, the decaying material removed, and then the cavity is then filled by dental filling material. The filling will help prevent bacteria from entering the damaged area helping to preserve it.
Porcelain fillings are made in laboratories and can be made to be bound with the teeth. The advantage of using this material is they can be matched to the color of the tooth.
Amalgam fillings can last a long time but are very noticeable so they are not used in visible areas.
Gold fillings are made from the precious metal that’s cemented into place. This kind of filling is actually tolerated well by gums and generally lasts for up to 20 years. Many consider it to be the best kind of filling but it is the most expensive.
