Filling (Composite and Other Types)
Dental fillings are used to restore teeth damaged by cavities, cracks, or minor fractures. Composite fillings are tooth-colored and blend naturally with the surrounding tooth, making them ideal for visible areas. Other types of fillings include amalgam, glass ionomer, and ceramic, each chosen based on strength, location, and patient needs. Fillings help restore normal tooth shape and function while preventing further decay. With proper care and oral hygiene, dental fillings can last for many years.
