At Bear Creek Dental we offer different types of materials to fill cavities. A filling is a way to restore a tooth that has been damaged by decay back to its normal shape and function. By closing off spaces where bacteria can enter, a filling also helps prevent further decay. When it comes to having a cavity filled, one of our doctors will discuss what type of filling is best for you, during a consultation. Meanwhile, here are some common types that we utilize.
- Composite resins – designed to look more like natural teeth, these tooth-colored fillings are a mixture of glass or quartz filler that provide good durability and resistance.
- Amalgam fillings – Sometimes described as silver fillings, these are made of metals that include mercury, silver, or tin and copper.
- Gold fillings – also called inlays or onlays are composed of an alloy of gold, copper, and other metals.
If you have questions or concerns regarding dental fillings or cosmetic dentistry, please give us a call.
