Dental fillings are a common treatment to restore teeth damaged by decay. The most common type of fillings used are composite. Composite fillings are made from a blend of plastic and glass and are highly effective in restoring teeth and safeguarding them from further deterioration. 

What are the advantages of each filling type? 

Composite dental fillings are often preferred because they can be color-matched to your natural teeth, offering a seamless blend. They also tend to cause less sensitivity to temperature changes. 

When you have a cavity, your dentist will recommend the most suitable filling type based on its size, location, and your personal preference. 

Can a filling strengthen a damaged tooth? 

Absolutely! Studies demonstrate that dental fillings help restore the strength of decayed teeth. Composite fillings also improve the appearance of teeth by filling in gaps and restoring their natural shape and color. By promptly addressing decay with fillings, patients can avoid more complex procedures like root canal therapy, dental inlays, onlays, or crowns that become necessary if decay progresses.
