What Are Tooth Fillings?

Tooth Fillings

Tooth fillings are a common and effective dental treatment used to repair teeth damaged by cavities, decay, cracks, or minor fractures. Fillings help restore the tooth’s shape, strength, and function while preventing further damage and discomfort.

When tooth decay is treated early with a dental filling, it can help preserve your natural tooth and avoid more extensive dental procedures in the future.

What Are Tooth Fillings?

A tooth filling is a material used to fill and seal the damaged area of a tooth after decay has been removed. Modern fillings are designed to blend naturally with your teeth, providing both durability and a natural appearance.

Signs You May Need a Filling

• Tooth sensitivity to hot or cold foods
• Toothache or pain while chewing
• Visible holes or dark spots on teeth
• Chipped or cracked teeth
• Food frequently getting stuck in certain teeth

Types of Dental Fillings

Composite Fillings
Tooth-colored fillings that blend naturally with your smile. They are durable, aesthetic, and commonly used for front and back teeth.

Amalgam Fillings
Strong and long-lasting silver-colored fillings often used for back teeth that handle heavy chewing pressure.

Ceramic Fillings
Highly aesthetic and stain-resistant fillings that provide excellent durability and a natural appearance.
