Tooth fillings, also known as dental restorations, are used to fill a hole or cavity in your tooth. There are many materials available that can be used as dental fillings.
Advances in modern dental materials and techniques increasingly offer new ways to recreate natural-looking smiles. The continuing research that is taking place to find better, longer-lasting, and more natural-looking materials in dentistry has resulted in dentists and patients today having several choices when it comes to selecting materials to repair worn, damaged, or decayed teeth or replace missing teeth.

Materials used for filling teeth must have certain characteristics – the most important points to mention are strength and durability. They must be able to withstand chewing forces and obviously, some teeth have to withstand more pressure than others. Therefore, the material selected for restoration will also be dependent on the position of the tooth that needs restoring.
At Windsor Family Dentist, our materials of choice for restoring teeth are composite resin and ceramic.
Composite resins are a mixture of acrylic resin, silica, and finely ground glass-like particles that provide excellent durability and resistance to fracture and will withstand most levels of chewing pressure.
Ceramic restorations are recommended for areas within your mouth that need to withstand greater chewing forces such as in back molar teeth or to repair cavities that are considered extensive.
Dental fillings can provide a healthy tooth for the long term and help you prevent more expensive treatments later in life. Whether you have a small cavity or a large hole, our dentists will work with you to design the best filling.
