Dental Fillings are a way to restore damaged, cracked, broken or decayed teeth back to their normal shape, size and function. A tooth filling involves the removal of the decayed material and cleaning of the affected area. A lining material is generally then placed over the nerve of the tooth to protect it, and then a filling material is placed on top to restore the tooth. There are many different types and sizes of dental fillings. They range from smaller, simple teeth fillings that can last for up to and over 15 years, to larger, more complex fillings. Whereas these larger fillings often last a long time, they tend to break more easily and are regarded as intermediate restorations that may require crowning in the long-term. The main types of filling include: Amalgam Fillings (‘Silver or Grey’), Composite Fillings ('White'), Layered Composite Fillings (e.g. HFO Enamel Plus), Glass Ionomer Fillings
