Dental fillings are a common treatment used to repair teeth that have been damaged by decay or trauma. The filling material is placed in the affected area of the tooth to restore its shape and function.

The most common type of filling material is composite resin, which is a tooth-colored material that blends in with the natural color of your teeth. Other filling materials include amalgam (a mixture of metals), gold, and porcelain.

The process of getting a dental filling involves removing the decayed or damaged portion of the tooth and then cleaning the area. The filling material is then placed in the tooth and shaped to fit your bite. Once the filling is in place, it is hardened using a special light.

Dental fillings can help prevent further damage to the tooth and restore its function. They are a quick and relatively painless treatment option for addressing tooth decay.
