Dental Fillings
Dental fillings are a common dental treatment used to restore teeth damaged by decay or fractures. The procedure involves removing the decayed or damaged portion of the tooth and filling the resulting cavity with a material that restores the tooth’s structure and function.
Traditionally, dental fillings were made of amalgam, a mixture of metals including silver, tin, copper, and mercury. However, in recent years, tooth-colored fillings made of composite resin or porcelain have gained popularity due to their aesthetic appeal and ability to blend seamlessly with natural tooth color.
