Composite Fillings (Tooth-Colored Fillings)

Composite fillings are made from a resin material that can be matched to the color of your natural teeth. These fillings are ideal for fillings in visible areas, such as the front teeth. Composite fillings provide a seamless, natural look and are durable enough to last for many years.

Amalgam Fillings (Silver Fillings)

Amalgam fillings are made from a mixture of metals, including silver, mercury, and tin. While they are not as aesthetically pleasing as composite fillings, amalgam fillings are highly durable and ideal for back teeth where strength is most important. They are a cost-effective option for patients with large cavities.

Porcelain Fillings (Inlays and Onlays)

Porcelain fillings are custom-made in a dental lab and offer excellent durability and aesthetic appeal. They are often used for larger cavities or when a more natural look is desired. Porcelain fillings are resistant to staining and provide a long-lasting solution for tooth restoration.

Gold Fillings

Gold fillings are durable and long-lasting, but they are more noticeable than other types of fillings, making them more commonly used in the back teeth. Gold is biocompatible and highly resistant to wear, making it a reliable choice for patients who need a filling in a high-pressure area.

Glass Ionomer Fillings

Glass ionomer fillings are made from a material that releases fluoride, which can help protect the tooth from future decay. These fillings are often used in areas where the aesthetic appearance is less of a concern, such as below the gumline or on baby teeth.
