Tooth Fillings (Restorations)
Tooth fillings replace decayed or damaged tooth material in cases where the cavity or damage is relatively small. In addition to protecting the tooth from further decay and the resulting pain for the patient, fillings can reduce sensitivity by covering areas that have lost their protective enamel.
At Empire Dental Clinic, we are committed to providing top-quality dental care, and our tooth filling services are no exception. Dental fillings are essential for restoring the function and integrity of teeth that have been damaged by decay. Our expert team of dentists uses only the best materials to ensure that your fillings are durable, effective, and blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
Types of Tooth Fillings We Offer at Empire Dental
These are mixtures of different metals (mercury, silver, and tin or other metals). These types of fillings are quite strong and durable; therefore, they can be used in the back teeth because the maximum chewing pressure falls on them. Amalgam is the easiest material for a dentist to use. It’s the fastest and least costly choice.
Composite resins are tooth-colored fillings. Composite resin is easier than gold for a dentist to work with. These are tooth-colored fillings, and for this reason, they are better suited for visible areas. They are durable and blend into the tooth for a natural appearance.
These fillings are made of porcelain, and they are very durable, appearing extremely natural. They are also stain-resistant and can be used for larger cavities and in cosmetic procedures.
Glass ionomer fillings release fluoride to protect against decay and are best for low-pressure areas, often used in younger patients.
