Why get a tooth filling?
A filling assists in restoring a tooth that has been damaged by trauma or decay so that it can function normally again. It helps to prevent further decay by eliminating areas where the tooth can become infected with bacteria. At Sun Dental, our dentists will take into account a variety of different factors to help you choose the filling material that is right for you. Some of the considerations include the extent of the repair, the filling material, and whether or not you have any allergies to certain dental materials.
Types of Fillings Available:
Glass Ionomer: Glass ionomer fillings are made from acrylic and fluoro aluminosilicate, which is a component of glass. This filing is firm and is used when there is extensive decay that extends below the gumline. It can also be used to fill baby teeth.
Amalgam Fillings: An amalgam filling is comprised of a mixture of metals such as silver and mercury. This type of filling isn’t tooth-colored, so it is usually used in the back of the mouth.
Composite Fillings: A composite resin filling is comprised of a mixture of plastic and fine glass that are the color of teeth. They are usually used on the front teeth or other visible teeth.
