Understand The Dental Filling Types Before Choosing The Right Filling Material
Composite Fillings:
Composite tooth fillings are a common restorative dental treatment used to treat dental cavities and tooth decays. Also known as filled resins, white fillings and tooth-colored fillings, are a commonly used dental filling type where a composite resin is used to restore decayed teeth and fill the tooth cavities.
As composite fillings provide natural looks – as they closely match the colour of your existing teeth -, many people choose this type for front teeth or visible parts of teeth. Besides having natural shades, this tooth filling type is highly durable and fracture resistant. It chemically bonds to the tooth structure for future support and works great to repair chipped, broken, or worn teeths.

Porcelain Fillings:
Porcelain fillings is another common dental filling type where a ceramic polymer material is used to fill teeth cavity. Also known as Porcelain inlays and onlays, These dental fillings are custom-made in the lab, non-toxic, mercury free, and highly durable compared to composite resins or other amalgam fillings.
Porcelain fillings are ideal for large cavities, replacements of old fillings, and to repair damaged teeth. Compared to composite resins, the ceramic filling material used in porcelain inlays or onlays is highly durable – and expensive as well – and is more resistant to stains and abrasions than composite fillings.
Amalgam Fillings:
Amalgam fillings are also a commonly used tooth filling type that is used by many for its affordability and longevity. Also known as silver fillings, In amalgam fillings a combination of metal is used including silver copper, tin, mercury, and zinc. They are silver in colour which is considered as one of the downsides of it. Expert dentists recommend avoiding this type for pregnant, breastfeeding women, and children. People with kidney disease are also not a good fit for amalgam fillings.

Gold Fillings:
Tooth fillings with gold is the most expensive option which is 10 times higher in cost than silver filling in general. They are extremely durable and can last more than 20 years. For the unnatural colour of Gold fillings and its excessive cost, only a few peoples prefer Gold fillings.
