What Are Fillings?

Fillings are used to treat teeth that are damaged or fractured due to dental decay or other external forces. When a tooth has been damaged, it opens an opportunity for bacteria to fester on the damaged area. Dental fillings prevent these bacteria by filling up the fractures with hard materials that serve as tooth-material substitutes. Depending on the damage, teeth may require fillings on one, two or three surfaces.

What Are the Different Kinds of Fillings?

Direct fillings are materials that are directly applied to the tooth. They may be of the following:

  • Amalgam
  • Composite resin
  • Resin Ionomer
  • Glass Ionomer

Indirect fillings are custom-made in a laboratory and cemented into the tooth.

  • Ceramic
  • Gold Alloy
  • Base metal Alloy

What Does the Procedure for Filling Entail?

An assessment will be made of the tooth damage. Once done, a local anaesthetic will be administered. The damaged parts of the tooth are removed, prepared and then filled in with the filling. The filling will be shaped, smoothed and polished and the dentist will ask you to bite, for comfort adjustments.
