What Are Dental Fillings?
Dental fillings are used to restore teeth that have been affected by cavities. When a tooth decays, your dentist will clean out the affected area and fill the space with a durable material. Various materials are available, including amalgam (silver), composite (tooth-colored), and ceramic fillings. Fillings not only restore the appearance of your teeth but also prevent further decay and protect the tooth from damage.
