Fillings

Fillings are a fast way to kick out cavities and keep your mouth’s health on track.

Depending on the tooth getting filled, and the recommendation of your dentist, one of two types of filling material will be used:

• Amalgam, typically used in parts of the mouth that are hard to see; best for high-stress chewing areas, such as molar teeth
• Composite resin, which blends in easily with your other teeth

At your appointment, you can talk with your dentist about which type of filling is the best choice for you.
