gold filling
Tooth cavity repair
A gold filling is a dental restoration made from gold alloy, used to repair cavities or damaged teeth.
Gold fillings are durable and long-lasting but more expensive and visible than tooth-colored alternatives: The dentist recommended a gold filling for the back molar.
Once common, they've largely been replaced by composite materials for cosmetic reasons.
