What is the dental filling process?
First, you will be given local anesthesia to numb the area. Your dentist then removes tooth decay using a drill or laser and cleans the cavity to eliminate bacteria.
The space is filled with the filling material, then shaped, hardened with a curing light (if composite), and polished for a smooth finish. This helps restore tooth function and prevent further decay.

What is the difference between composite and amalgam fillings?
Composite fillings are tooth-colored, made of resin, and blend naturally. Amalgam fillings are silver-colored and made of metal alloys. Both are durable options, but composite is typically preferred for aesthetic appearance.
