Dental Fillings (Silver, Composite and Glass Ionomer, Pit and Fissure Sealants)
Dental fillings are used to fix teeth that have been damaged by cavities. There are three main types of fillings: silver, white, and glass.
Silver fillings are made of a mixture of metals and have been used for a long time. They are strong, but they are also noticeable and some people are concerned about the mercury content.
White fillings are made of a mixture of plastic and glass. They can be made to match the color of your teeth so they are not as noticeable as silver fillings. However, they may not last as long as silver fillings.
Glass fillings are made of a special type of glass that contains fluoride. They bond well with your teeth and can help prevent cavities from forming. Glass fillings can also be made to match the color of your teeth.
Sealants are thin coat of plastic that is applied to the biting surfaces of your back teeth. They help protect your teeth from decay by sealing off the areas where cavities can start.
