Dental Fillings

For hundreds of years, dental fillings have been used to restore teeth. Dental fillings are placed in teeth where we have had to remove tooth structure due to decay or a fracture. In recent years filling materials have been substantially improved by many technological advancements. Although silver amalgam was the dominant choice years ago, today we have several other preferred options for tooth restoration including tooth colored composite filling materials and cementable resins and porcelains.
