Nowadays, thanks to advances in dental techniques and materials,
patients have a much wider range of choices when they have to repair
missing, worn, damaged or decayed teeth.
For example, materials such as ceramics and polymer compounds that look
more like natural teeth help dentists create pleasing, natural-looking
smiles.
The traditional materials such as gold, base metal alloys and dental amalgam are still widely used as they have many advantages.
The strength and durability of traditional dental materials continues to
make them useful in many situations. For example, they are good when
fillings are required in the back teeth because the pressure of chewing
is high in that area.
The choice of the best option will depend on several factors such as the
patient’s oral and general health, where and how the filling is placed
and the number of visits needed to prepare and adjust the restored
tooth.
The choice about which option is best depends on each individuals needs so you should discuss the options with your dentist.
