Filling can be made from a variety of different materials including gold, porcelain, silver amalgam or composite resin. Porcelain and composite resin are the two materials that most closely mimic the color and appearance of the tooth, making a filling less noticeable.
Up until 10 to 15 years ago, silver amalgam was the most common material used for fillings due to its low cost, but composite resin is starting to take the lead position as more people want less noticeable filling materials.
If you have a cavity, you will need a filling. When you have a cavity, the rotted part of your tooth is drilled out, or removed. This leaves a hole in your tooth which can affect the strength and structure of the tooth. It can also leave the nerve exposed.
Because of this, the tooth is filled in. This strengthens it so you can bite or chew on it and also covers the nerve so you don’t experience sensitivity while eating or drinking. If you are experiencing tooth pain or sensitivity to hot or cold, you should visit your dentist. A dentist can perform a visual exam and x-rays to look for cavities.
The costs of your filling treatment may usually be covered by your dental insurance plan or extended dental coverage.
