What are Dental Fillings/Teeth Fillings?

Dental fillings are applied to repair the decayed or damaged teeth. It is a procedure that entails extracting the rotten section of the tooth and replacing the space with a stable substance. The fillings are used to maintain the strength and functioning of your tooth in addition to making it look good. At Magnum Clinic, we have different types of tooth filling material and various tooth filling types, which are available to fit the needs and preferences.

When Do You Need a Teeth Filling?

You may need a teeth filling treatment if:

  • You have a cavity caused by plaque and bacteria.
  • Your tooth is cracked or fractured from injury.
  • Your tooth has become worn out from chewing hard foods.
  • You’re experiencing sensitivity due to enamel erosion.

If left untreated, these issues can lead to infections, tooth pain, or even tooth loss.

What are the different types of dental fillings?

There are many types of fillings most common ones are:

  1. Composite: Composite fillings are tooth colored restorations that can be matched to your tooth color and help to restore your tooth function and aesthetics. These fillings restore anterior (front) teeth or areas that are not subjected to high occlusal (chewing) forces.
  2. Amalgam: Dental amalgam filling is a mixture of metals mainly silver, mercury, copper and tin. They have been used by dentists for more than 100 years and they are successful filling materials because they are cheap and durable. the drawback of this filling material that they are not tooth colored material they will show when you talk or speak and they are not conservative we need to prepare or grind more of the tooth structure.
  3. Gold: Gold fillings now are not that common because they are expensive and technique sensitive. But they are very strong fillings and corrosion resistant, they can last for 10-15 years or more.
  4. Glass Ionomer Cement (GIC): is a filling composed off silicate glass powder and polyacrylic acid, they have the great ability to release fluoride which will help to prevent future cavities. these fillings are usually used as alternative to composite filling. But, these filling are neither aesthetic nor strong as composite fillings. This filling is indicative for, who is having more cavities or caries index. They are mainly used for baby teeth, areas with low occlusal (chewing) forces and temporary fillings.
  5. Ceramic fillings (Inlay): are fillings made in the dental lab by the technician after taking the tooth measurement by your dentist. These fillings have great contact, contour, color resistant, and durability. but they are more expensive than other types of fillings.

What is the Procedure for Dental Filling at Magnum Clinic?

Dental filling is very easy and normally pain free. Here’s what you can expect:

  • Examination: The dentist will examine your tooth and can perform X-rays to determine how much is decayed.
  • Anesthesia: Local anesthesia can be used to make the procedure painless, particularly with the deep decay.
  • Decay Removal: Dental drill or laser is used to remove the decayed part of the tooth very carefully.
  • Tooth Preparation: The tooth is cleaned and molded to make the filling material bond.
  • Filling Placement: The teeth filling treatment is done in layers. In the case of a composite filling, every layer is dried using a special light.

Shaping and Polishing: The filling is formed to conform to the natural shapes of your tooth and polished to a smooth finish.

What Would Happen When a Tooth Filling is Ignored?

Failing to pay attention to a cavity or a damaged tooth will only make the problem worse. This may ultimately result in acute toothache, hypersensitivity to hot/cold and infection. The decay might extend into the nerve of the tooth and more complicated procedures, such as a root canal, or teeth removal would be necessary.

There are a few different types of dental fillings that a dentist can choose from, depending on the severity of the cavity. The most common type is a composite resin filling, which is made of plastic and glass particles. It can be matched to the color of the tooth, making it less visible. Another type is an amalgam filling, which is made of mercury, silver, tin, and copper. It is durable and less likely to cause allergic reactions than some other fillings.
