When you need a dental filling, you usually need it right away. That’s because you have a cavity forming or worsening within your tooth. If you ignore it, something not-so-great will likely follow for your oral health. The tooth could break. Or, the cavity could allow bacteria to head deep within your tooth, where an infection will form. So, you certainly know you require a filling. However, you may wonder about what we offer!
We Offer Amalgam
If you are interested in amalgam, we offer this type of dental filling. It’s the type that looks silver in your smile. Generally speaking, we suggest this material for back teeth that are difficult to see because the filling will be quite apparent to onlookers. Fortunately, you can rely on this type of filling to last for many years.
We Offer Composite
You may hear this type of dental filling referred to as tooth-colored or white. That’s because we use composite, which we will match to the color of your tooth that has a cavity. The result? After placement, your tooth will look like it used to, rather than looking like it has a filling in it. Surprising to many patients is the fact that we can place composite anywhere and it’s just about as durable as amalgam, so it will also last for many years.
How To Know
You may wonder how to know which type of dental filling you’ll need or which you should select. Remember that when you require restorative care, we are always going to speak with you about your options, as well as which will provide you with the best fit for your requirements.
