Dental fillings have come a long way over the years in terms of sophistication and durability, but their function remains the same: to fill the void left by decay and eliminate that decay to prevent it from spreading and doing further damage.
There are five basic types of dental fillings: silver amalgam, composite resin, ceramic, cast gold, and gold foil. Amalgam and composite materials are the most commonly used, though the use of amalgam has lessened in recent years due to the availability and affordability of durable tooth-colored options. Your dentist will recommend the best material for you.
