What is a dental filling?

A dental filling is a restorative dental procedure used to repair a damaged or decayed tooth. By removing damaged tooth material and filling the resulting cavity, the tooth structure is restored, preventing further decay and improving overall oral health.

Types of dental fillings

There are different materials for dental fillings, each with its own unique properties, advantages and disadvantages.

Amalgam fillings

Amalgam fillings, also known as silver fillings, are durable and economical. However, their gray-silver color may be less appealing to those who prefer a more natural look.

Composite fillings

Composite fillings, which are made from a mixture of glass or quartz particles, provide good durability and resistance. Their color matches the color of natural teeth, making them a popular choice for visible parts.

Ceramic fillings

Ceramic fillings are made of porcelain, they are durable and aesthetically appealing. They are stain resistant but can be as expensive as gold fillings.

Gold fillings

Gold fillings are durable and offer a unique aesthetic appearance, but they are also the most expensive option.

Benefits of dental fillings

Timely treatment of caries with dental fillings contributes to overall oral health, preventing further complications such as gum disease.

Why and how is an amalgam filling removed?

Amalgam fillings can be removed for a variety of reasons, including aesthetic preferences, allergies to amalgam, or when the filling begins to deteriorate.

During the process, the dentist uses specialized tools to safely remove the filling, taking care to minimize exposure to the amalgam. After that, the cavity is filled again with a material of the patient's choice.

Dental filling life span

The lifespan of a filling depends on the type of material used and the patient's oral hygiene. In general, amalgam fillings can last 10-15 years, while composite fillings usually last about 5-7 years.

However, some patients can have fillings that last even longer with proper oral hygiene and regular check-ups.

What to do if a filling falls out and your tooth hurts?

If your filling falls out and you feel pain, you should visit your dentist immediately. The pain may be the result of exposure of a sensitive part of the tooth or further decay of the tooth. While you are waiting for your dental appointment, you can use temporary solutions available in pharmacies to protect the tooth and relieve the pain.

Why does a tooth hurt under a filling?
