Silver & Cosmetic Fillings
At Dr Budhiraja’s Ora-Dental Care Clinic, we specialize in providing high-quality dental fillings that restore the health, function, and beauty of your teeth. Whether you’re dealing with cavities, chipped teeth, or want to replace old, worn-out fillings, our team is here to help you choose the best solution—be it traditional silver (amalgam) fillings or modern cosmetic (composite/ceramic) fillings.
What Are Dental Fillings?
Dental fillings are materials used to restore the structure of a tooth that has been damaged due to decay, wear, or trauma. They help seal the tooth from further damage and restore its natural function. At our clinic, we offer both silver and cosmetic options, allowing patients to select a treatment that fits their aesthetic and functional needs.
Silver (Amalgam) Fillings
Silver fillings, also known as amalgam fillings, have been used for decades due to their durability and strength. These fillings are ideal for back teeth (molars) where chewing forces are highest. Key benefits include:
- Long-lasting: Can last 10-15 years or more with proper care
- Strong: Ideal for large cavities in molars
- Cost-effective: Generally more affordable than cosmetic fillings
While effective, silver fillings are more visible and may not blend well with the natural color of your teeth.
Cosmetic (Composite/Ceramic) Fillings
Cosmetic fillings, also known as tooth-colored or composite fillings, are made from advanced materials that mimic the appearance of natural enamel. These are a preferred choice for front teeth or any visible areas of the mouth. Benefits include:
- Natural appearance: Blends seamlessly with your tooth color
- Minimally invasive: Less tooth structure needs to be removed
- Bonded directly to the tooth: Offers good support and protection
- Mercury-free: Safe for people who prefer metal-free dentistry
We also offer ceramic inlays and onlays for patients seeking a longer-lasting and highly aesthetic alternative to composite fillings.
