🧱 Dental Fillings
Tiny restorations. Big protection. Quiet resilience.
Dental fillings are like patching a beloved old wall—preserving the structure, preventing deeper damage, and restoring integrity without replacing the whole thing. At Frederick Prime Dental, we treat fillings not as mere repairs, but as acts of preservation—gentle interventions that honor the original tooth while protecting its future.
🦷 Why Fillings Matter
- Stop decay in its tracks
- Prevent infection or tooth loss
- Restore chewing comfort and tooth shape
- Blend seamlessly with your natural smile
🧪 Types of Fillings
| Material | Appearance | Durability | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Composite Resin | Tooth-colored | 5–10 years | Front teeth, visible areas |
| Amalgam | Silver-colored | 10–15 years | Molars, high-pressure chewing |
| Glass Ionomer | Tooth-colored | 5–7 years | Baby teeth, low-stress areas |
| Gold | Gold-colored | 15+ years | Long-term durability seekers |
| Porcelain/Ceramic | Tooth-colored | 10–15 years | Aesthetic restorations |
Each material has its own personality—some bold and durable, others subtle and aesthetic. We help patients choose based on location, lifestyle, and personal preference.
