DENTAL FILLINGS
Dental fillings are essential to restorative dental care.
At our private appointments, we only use composite dental fillings which are commonly referred to by patients as ‘white’ or ‘natural’ fillings. The dental filling resin appears to be natural when carefully shade matched to your teeth, making them an aesthetically pleasing alternative to the traditional silver amalgam fillings that are available on the NHS.
Composite fillings are a great choice to repair a damaged tooth caused by decay, cavities, dental trauma, chips or fractures, helping to prevent further breakage and damage. This durable material preserve your smile for longer while restoring the function and appearance of your teeth.
Ignoring the need for a filling can allow decay to worsen, potentially leading to more costly and complex treatments such as root canal treatment or dental crowns. Fillings are always completed in just one appointment with local anaesthetic for your comfort and are available for children as well as adults.
