Also known as composites, dental fillings are used to repair cavities, holes in teeth or cracks in teeth. They are a very effective dental procedure and as such, are recommended for majority of dental cases. On a plus side, they require less drilling and use biocompatible materials that bond with your natural teeth, and can also be colour-matched to suit the natural color of your teeth. After dental fillings have been used to repair your teeth, they can last for years due to their seamless and natural looking aesthetic.

Traditional fillings are silver coloured fillings that are made from a material called amalgam. This type of filling is strong and durable, however, it requires more drilling than the white filling.
This is the most popular type of dental filling, and it requires less drilling than the traditional filling. It is made of composite resin that are the same colour as your tooth and blend very well, as well as bond with your tooth. They provide direct support to the tooth structure that have been weakened, and due to the fact that they are the same colour as your teeth, they are aesthetically pleasing.
For cavities that are too large or big to be treated with fillings, inlays and overlays come into play. These are ceramic fillings that are tooth coloured and are used to treat or repair larger cavities. They are also natural in appearance and are equally durable, and they are only to be used on teeth that cannot be fixed with white or traditional fillings.
