Do you need a "filling"? You are not alone, but if this is the first time you have had cavities, welcome to the club!
The substance of your filling depends on the size and location of the cavity, and should not be of a financial consideration. Types of fillings also depend on the extent of the decay.
If the cavity is restricted to the inner grooves of the tooth, a filling or an inlay may be used. For cavities that cover the chewing surface of the tooth, including a cusp (pointy tip), an onlay is appropriate.
While such fillings are ideal for small cavities, larger areas of decay may require a crown, which covers the entire tooth. This strategy is a common way of repairing a broken or extremely weak tooth.
