Overview

What are Dental Fillings?

Fillings are used to remove decay and replace the affected tooth structure. Caught early enough, cavities can be treated easily and painlessly. If left untreated, decay can lead to tooth pain, infection, and the need for root canal treatment or extraction. At 3V Dental, we offer tooth-colored composite resin fillings that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.

Dental Fillings at Our Port Washington & Massapequa Dental Clinic

A filling removes decayed tooth structure and replaces it with a durable material. Today, most teeth are treated with bonded tooth-colored composite resin fillings. As recommended by the American Dental Association, you have options when it comes to choosing your dental fillings — so it’s important to become educated on each type.

Your dentist considers materials on an individualized basis, taking into account the size and location of your cavity, cosmetic considerations, how long the filling could last, and insurance coverage.

Types of Dental Fillings

Amalgam fillings are the most affordable option, lasting upwards of 10 years. They are a popular choice for back teeth because of their durability, though they do not match tooth color.

Composite resin (tooth-colored) fillings blend seamlessly into your smile and are the preferred choice for visible teeth. They can be completed in a single visit and typically last around 5–7 years. Gold fillings, while less common, offer exceptional longevity — lasting 15 years or more — and are resistant to corrosion.
