A dental filling prevents your cavity from worsening. Proper follow-up care for your teeth and gums can also reduce your risk of other dental problems.
Dental fillings are recommended if your teeth are chipped, cracked, damaged, or decayed. Cavities are commonly treated with fillings along with other conditions that include:
Composite dental fillings are the most common, primarily because they blend seamlessly with your natural tooth color. This makes them an excellent choice for maintaining the aesthetics of your smile. Additionally, composite fillings bond directly to the tooth, providing extra strength and stability, which can help preserve more of the natural tooth structure.
Other materials for dental fillings include gold and silver. While metal fillings are often less costly, they are more noticeable in your mouth. Moreover, composite fillings are free from mercury, a component found in amalgam fillings, making them a safer and more environmentally friendly option.
