Fillings
If you have suffered damage to your teeth, fillings could be the perfect solution for restoring them. Not only do they provide fast and reliable protection but also help safeguard pristine tooth enamel while eliminating decayed tissue. Our practice proudly embraces conservative dentistry methods by offering both composite and amalgam fillings that are custom-dyed to match your natural aesthetic!
By expertly removing all decay, and then filling and packing the cavity with a protective material, dentists provide vital protection from pain and further damage. Tooth fillings are imperative for preserving one’s dental health!
What Should I Expect?
Cavity filling is a well-known dental procedure, so you can trust in the process going smoothly. The whole treatment should be done within thirty minutes if no issues arise. Depending on the size of your cavity, your dentist might give multiple anaesthetic injections to make sure that you feel comfortable throughout it all and won’t experience any pain. Moreover, they may suggest avoiding hot or cold beverages for up to two days after getting a filling; yet don’t worry as any discomfort will likely only last temporarily!
Your dentist will evaluate the severity of your dental issue and suggest an appropriate filling type to address it.
Amalgam Fillings
Amalgam fillings are composed of different metals, giving them a distinct dark grey colour in the mouth. But with modern dentistry today, you can now have strong white fillings that blend in seamlessly with your teeth – so no one else will ever know you had work done!
White Fillings
If you seek to have your fillings match the shade of your teeth, composite fillings are a perfect choice. Not only can they be matched precisely to blend with existing tooth colouration, but these fillers also provide extra strength through chemical bonding. All this and more -such as being ideal for filling awkwardly-shaped cavities without much preparation involved -makes them incredibly versatile too!
