Filling is a method applied to decayed or broken teeth. In order to restore the functions of the teeth, the teeth are restored with various procedures and substances. In this way, complete loss of the tooth is prevented. Dentists can fill the gap in your decayed or broken tooth with one of three materials, from the oldest to the most modern.
Silver amalgam is a more modern and less expensive option. Composed of silver, mercury, copper, and tin, this substance is durable and looks like silver.
Composite resins that have the advantage of showing the same color as your other teeth. The latest material resins contain quartz or glass that provide permanent protection for small or medium sized cavities.
Gold that has long been prized for its durability. Gold fillings are actually made of gold, copper, and other metals, but they still look like gold.
Dentists are increasingly turning to composite resins. They have proven durable and people like to have fillings that are the same color as the rest of their teeth.
