Posted on 5/8/2023 by Amir Hosseini, DDS
Cavities are no longer a grave situation to have as they were before. People who seek treatment and reconstruction for particular reasons often get the help they need. With the improvement and evolvement of technology, dentists can now offer tooth fillings that replace a missing or fractured part of the tooth. It is important to discuss with your doctor and know what options are there for you before agreeing to one particular filling. You should even be more keen if the teeth with cavities are front teeth as you do not want to mess up your smile.
What Are The Factors To Consider Before Choosing A Filling?
The first thing you need to do is get a listing and description of all the available kinds of filling from the doctor. Then you should talk about the location and size of your cavity. After that, it is important to discuss how long you would like your filling to last. It is then advisable to explain your cosmetic considerations and say what you want to look like after the procedure. The cost will also determine what kind of filling you end up getting.
What Are The Filling Options Available?
There are three major filling options. The first one is the tooth-colored fillings also called the composite resins. It is the type that uses a combination of glass and quartz. It is the best option for front teeth because it fits perfectly into your formulae and does not draw attention. The others are dental amalgams commonly known as silver-colored and the gold fillings which are more durable but very visible.
