Child receiving dental filling treatment at a pediatric dentist

Fillings, also known as dental restorations, can be made from traditional materials like gold, porcelain, or composite resin. Today, newer options include ceramic and plastic compounds designed to closely resemble the look of natural teeth. These composite resins are especially popular for front teeth where appearance matters most. There are two main types of fillings: direct and indirect. Direct fillings are applied directly into the tooth cavity in a single appointment. Indirect fillings, such as inlays and veneers made from ceramics or composites, usually require two or more visits.
