Is a cavity causing you never-ending pain?
Depending on the decay, a treatment plan is likely needed. If the tooth is still structurally sound and a filling is the best course of treatment, the decayed portion of the tooth will be removed and filled with a composite resin material or a traditional silver amalgam material. Teeth that have been cracked, broken or worn from misuse (such as from nail-biting or tooth grinding) can also be filled.
Many materials are used to create fillings. They can be constructed from gold, porcelain, silver amalgam, or glass materials called composite resin fillings.
