Fillings
Dental fillings can restore structure, strength, and functionality to teeth that have been damaged by decay or trauma.
Traditional silver-coloured fillings:- These are made from amalgam, which is strong and durable.
White fillings:- These consist of tooth-coloured composite resins, which are bonded to your tooth. These restorations are aesthetically pleasing because they blend in naturally with your own teeth, whilst also providing direct support to weakened tooth structures.
One option to improve the cosmetic look of your teeth is to have your metal-coloured fillings replaced with tooth-coloured or ‘white’ fillings. This is a safe procedure that entails one of our dentists removing any decay from your tooth, taking out the previous amalgam filling and placing a tooth-coloured filling instead. This will give your teeth a more natural appearance overall.
