Dental Filling
At Smiles and Braces we specialize in providing high-quality and best dental filling to restore the health and function of your teeth. Dental fillings are a common and effective treatment for cavities and tooth decay, helping to prevent further damage and maintain your beautiful smile.
Dental filling, also known as tooth filling or cavity filling, is a restorative dentistry treatment used to address tooth decay and structural damage issues. The procedure involves filling the decayed or damaged tooth with different materials. Getting dental filling improves the function of the teeth, strengthens the weakened teeth, and preserves their structure as they help restore the tooth’s shape, function, and integrity. At Smiles and Braces we offer various types of fillings, including composite resin, amalgam, gold, and porcelain, to suit your specific needs and preferences.

Types of Cavity Dental Filling
1. Composite Filling
These dental fillings are also known as composites or filled resins. They are a combination of glass or quartz filler and can be used to match the colour of your teeth. They are fairly durable and are ideal for small to mid-sized restorations.
2. Amalgam Fillings
Dental professionals have used amalgam for over a century, and it is the most researched material for filling cavities. They are strong and ideal for filling cavities in the back of the mouth in molars, as that is where chewing takes place. Since they comprise several metallic elements, amalgam fillings can be noticeable when you laugh or smile. These are not routinely used currently.
3. C3. Metals
Gold or silver are the most common metals used for cavity filling. Some people don’t like the appearance of metal fillings, but they can last as long as 10 to 15 years before they need to be replaced
4. Ceramic
A ceramic cavity filling is usually made of porcelain and can match your tooth colour. It is less likely to show tooth stains over time than composite cavity fillings.
5. Glass Ionomer
It is a blend of acrylic and glass and creates a cavity filling that releases fluoride to help protect teeth. They are less durable than others and might need to be replaced every five years.
