A dental filling is a restorative procedure that repairs and restores a tooth that has been damaged by decay or trauma. It involves removing the decayed or damaged portion of the tooth and replacing it with a filling material.

Types of Fillings:

Amalgam: Silver-colored, durable, and affordable

Composite Resin: Tooth-colored, aesthetically pleasing, and less expensive than amalgam.

Gold: Highly durable and resistant to corrosion.

Porcelain: Tooth-colored, strong, and resistant to stain.
