Dental Fillings have been used to restore teeth for hundreds of years. Dental Fillings are used to restore tooth structure that has been removed by a dentist due to decay or fracture.
Many technological advancements have significantly improved Dental Filling materials in recent years. Although silver amalgam was once the preferred choice for tooth restoration, we now have several other preferred options, including tooth-colored composite Dental Filling materials and cementable resins and porcelains.
