silver fillings, amalgam fillings have been used
for decades. They are durable and able to
withstand the forces of chewing. It makes them a
suitable choice for back teeth. 2. Composite
Fillings These tooth-colored fillings blend
seamlessly with your natural teeth. Due to their
aesthetic appeal, they are a popular choice for
visible teeth. 3. Ceramic Fillings Similar to
composites, ceramic fillings are tooth-colored
and provide a natural appearance. They are
resistant to staining and can be a suitable
