Types of Dental Fillings:

Gold Dental Fillings: Gold fillings are very comfortable with gum tissue and may long last between 10-15 years.

Silver Dental Fillings (Amalgams): It is common material used to dental fillings. It is less expensive comparatively gold.

Composite (plastic) Resins Fillings: Composites may not be the ideal material for large fillings as they may chip over time, but can be used where a natural look is desired.

Porcelain and Ceramic Dental Fillings: these fillings can be matched to the color of the tooth and resist staining. A porcelain restoration generally covers most of the tooth.

If your Town Center Dental dentist decides to use Dental Fillings to fill a cavity or restore your teeth's shape, then he or she will first remove the decay and clean the affected area. After that the cleaned-out cavity will be filled with any of the variety of Dental Filling materials described above.

Usually most dental insurance plans cover the cost of the composites up to the price of the silver Dental Filling.
