TOOTH FILLINGS
THE OVERVIEW
Fillings are used to cure dental decay. Although there are other filling material possibilities, amalgam (silver) and composite fillings are the most widely used. Composite fillings, also referred to as tooth-coloured fillings, are a Better option for patients who wish to preserve their natural appearance. Because the composite material matches your teeth’s natural colour, composite fillings are essentially undetectable. Composite material is long-lasting and usually requires less tooth extraction than amalgam fillings. Additionally, composite fillings can be utilized to repair broken or chipped teeth as well as to fill in spaces between teeth.
