Because there are several types of fillings, choosing the right one for your teeth can be confusing. Here are three things to bear in mind when having a filling.
Key takeaways:
- How big the area to be filled is: porcelain is best for large fillings, whereas composite works mainly in small and medium-sized areas.
- Visibility: silver fillings are the most noticeable. Resin and porcelain offer the most natural appearance.
- Cost: composite resin fillings are the cheapest, and gold and porcelain the most expensive.
If you’re still in doubt, have a chat with your dentist to see which filling material they recommend.
