DENTAL Fillings
A filling restores a hole in a tooth caused as a result of tooth decay, losing a previously fitted filling, or having a cracked/chipped tooth. Fillings restore the tooth back to its original shape.
Our skilled dentists will remove all of the decay and plaque build up in the tooth and replace the hole with a long lasting filling material.
Frequently Asked Questions
Composite fillings are bonded to the tooth and provide support and strength. Amalgam fillings are not glued to the tooth so involve more cutting of healthy tooth to provide retentive features so they don’t fall out.
We as a practice have made the decision to only use white composite fillings, we do not have or use metal amalgam fillings on any of our patients. Besides a white composite filling is environmentally friendly and more aesthetically pleasing!
