What are dental fillings made of?

  • Dental fillings are used to restore teeth damaged by decay or trauma, and they can be made from various materials. At Daily Smiles Pembroke Pines, the premier dental office in Pembroke Pines FL, fillings are typically made from composite resin, porcelain, or amalgam. Composite resin fillings are tooth-colored and blend seamlessly with natural teeth, making them a popular choice for visible areas. Porcelain fillings, also known as inlays or onlays, are custom-made to match the shape and color of your teeth, providing a durable and aesthetically pleasing option. Amalgam fillings, made from a mixture of metals, are highly durable and cost-effective, often used for back teeth. The dentists at Daily Smiles will recommend the best material based on the location and extent of the decay, as well as your personal preferences.
