Dental Fillings (Amalgam or Composite)




Depending on the size and location of the break or chip of the tooth, the dentist decides the type of fillings for restoration. Dr. Anna Lee can provide you with more information on options for dental fillings, schedule your consultation today. 
If it is a front tooth with a small chip, the dentist is likely to use composite (tooth-colored filling) to restore the chip.  A posterior molar (back) tooth with a large chip may be restored with composite or a crown restoration.  In some cases a broken posterior teeth can be restored with amalgam fillings.
During your visit if you are concerned about which type of material will be used, let Dr. Lee and her team know.
