Dental fillings are one of the most common and essential procedures in restorative dentistry, designed to treat cavities and restore tooth structure. When tooth decay erodes part of a tooth, it leaves behind a cavity — a hollow space that, if left untreated, can lead to pain, infection, and even tooth loss. Dental fillings are used to clean out the decay and fill the cavity with a strong, durable material to prevent further damage. The procedure not only restores the tooth’s function but also protects it from future decay by sealing off entry points for bacteria. Fillings can be made from various materials such as composite resin (tooth-colored), silver amalgam, or glass ionomer, depending on the location and extent of the damage. Composite resin is often preferred for its natural look and strong bonding to the tooth. The process is typically painless, especially with the use of local anesthesia, and can usually be completed in a single visit. Early treatment with fillings prevents more serious issues like root canals or extractions later on. Common signs you may need a filling include tooth sensitivity, visible holes, or mild to moderate pain when chewing. Even small cavities can progress quickly if ignored. Regular dental checkups are the best way to detect cavities early and treat them conservatively. Dental fillings not only restore function but also help maintain your overall oral health and confidence in your smile.
