Types of Dental Fillings We Offer at ArtLife Dental Studio
Tooth-Colored/Laser Fillings:
Often referred to as composite fillings, tooth-coloured fillings, or laser fillings match the natural colour of your teeth. They are versatile, durable, and aesthetically pleasing, making them a popular choice for filling cavities in visible areas of the mouth.
Temporary Fillings:
Temporary fillings are used as a short-term solution to protect a tooth until a permanent filling or restoration can be placed. They are commonly used in emergencies or during multi-visit dental procedures.
Amalgam/Silver Fillings:
These silver-coloured metal fillings contain mercury, which can expand, increasing the risk of tooth fracture. Many dentists strongly advise against this type of filling and recommend patients opt for safer alternatives.
What is the difference between tooth-coloured or amalgam fillings?
Composite Fillings vs. Amalgam Fillings
Composite | Amalgam | |
Appearance | Composite fillings are tooth-coloured and blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. | Amalgam fillings are silver-coloured and more noticeable. |
Bonding | Composite fillings bond directly to the tooth structure, providing better reinforcement. | Amalgam fillings do not bond to the tooth; they rely on mechanical fit within the cavity. |
Tooth removal | Composite fillings require less removal of healthy tooth structure. | Amalgam fillings may require more removal of healthy tooth structures to secure the filling. |
Versatility | Composite fillings are suitable for small to medium-sized fillings and repairs of chipped or cracked teeth. | Amalgam fillings are best for larger cavities or areas under heavy chewing pressure. |
Temperature sensitivity | Composite fillings are less sensitive to temperature changes. | Amalgam fillings can expand and contract with temperature changes, potentially causing sensitivity. |
Mercury leakage | Composite fillings contain no mercury and pose no risk of mercury leakage. | Amalgam fillings contain mercury, which can release small amounts of mercury vapour over time. |
