Fillings

A dental fillings, also known as a dental restoration is a material used to restore tooth surface.

They are comprised of different materials depending on size, structural integrity, location in the mouth and aesthetics. Examples include Gold, Silver amalgam, metallic alloys, composite resin and Porcelain ceramics.

To get the best visual appearance, a material with the closest match in terms of translucency and shade should be applied. This is especially true if the filling is visible when smilling.

If you are due to have a filling procedure, ask you dentist about your options highlighting the importance of aesthetics.
