What is Dental Filling and Whose It For?

Dental filling is performed to restore teeth that have cavities caused by decay, chipping, or fractures, allowing the tooth to regain its original strength. If fillings are not done using the proper method or suitable materials, chewing pressure can cause the tooth to crack or break, which may ultimately require extraction.

Filling a tooth is a painless procedure, though there may be slight sensitivity during the drilling process. In most cases, the treatment can be completed in a single visit. After a composite resin filling, you can chew immediately.

Dental filling is suitable for patients whose tooth decay is not severe and who still have enough healthy tooth structure to support the filling. However, if the cavity is very large and deep, extending into the pulp chamber, a filling alone will not be sufficient. In such cases, root canal treatment may be necessary to remove bacteria from the root canals, followed by post-and-core buildup and a crown to prevent future fractures. If the root cannot be preserved, tooth extraction will be the final treatment option recommended by the dentist.

Filling Materials

There are two commonly used types of dental filling materials: amalgam (silver-colored) and composite resin (tooth-colored).

Amalgam fillings have the advantages of being inexpensive, durable, and relatively simple to place. However, they have limitations: they release mercury, which is toxic to both the body and the environment; after filling, it takes about one day for the material to fully harden before chewing can begin; they do not truly bond to the tooth structure, which can lead to tooth fractures; and their silver color is aesthetically unappealing.
Composite resin fillings have the advantage of being tooth-colored, aesthetically pleasing, and able to bond securely to the tooth structure, thereby strengthening the tooth. They can be used immediately after the procedure. The limitations are that they are more expensive than silver fillings and require more complex techniques, making an experienced dentist essential for successful treatment.

Today, many countries in Asia and Europe have banned amalgam fillings due to mercury content. However, amalgam is still widely used in Thailand. Wise Dental Clinic in Phitsanulok practices amalgam-free dentistry, choosing only the best and most suitable materials for patients to ensure both beauty and strength in their teeth.
