Fillings

Fillings or restorations are essential dental procedures for restoring teeth that have been damaged by decay or other causes. The process involves removing the damaged part of the tooth and placing a restorative material to restore its function and aesthetics.

The materials used for fillings include resin, silver amalgam, or porcelain, and the choice depends on the patient's needs and the location of the tooth. Resin fillings are popular due to their natural appearance and their ability to match the color of the teeth. They are ideal for front teeth, providing excellent aesthetic results. On the other hand, amalgam fillings offer great durability and are suitable for back teeth, which endure more pressure during chewing.

The process of placing a filling is quick, painless, and provides immediate relief from the pain caused by decay or tooth damage. With proper care, fillings can last for many years, protecting the teeth and preventing the need for more invasive treatments in the future.

By choosing the appropriate filling for your teeth, you ensure the long-term health of your mouth and maintain your smile naturally and brightly!
