Dental Fillings

We understand the importance of maintaining healthy teeth. Dental fillings are a common solution to repair teeth affected by decay or damage, restoring their function and preventing further deterioration.

Understanding Dental Fillings

Dental fillings are materials used to fill cavities caused by tooth decay or damage. They restore the tooth's integrity and prevent further issues.​

Types of Fillings We Offer:

  1. Amalgam Fillings:

    • Composition: A durable mixture of metals, including silver, tin, and copper.

    • Advantages: Known for their strength and longevity, making them suitable for back teeth.

    • Considerations: Visible silver colour may be less aesthetically pleasing for some patients.​

  2. Composite Fillings:

    • Composition: A tooth-coloured resin material that blends seamlessly with natural teeth.

    • Advantages: Ideal for visible areas due to their aesthetic appeal; bonds directly to the tooth structure.

    • Considerations: May have a shorter lifespan compared to amalgam fillings.

Please note that prices may vary based on the size and complexity of the filling. A detailed estimate will be provided during your consultation.​

Aftercare and Longevity

Amalgam fillings typically last 10-15 years with proper oral hygiene, whilst composite fillings generally last 5-10 years depending on care and location of the filling in the mouth. We recommend regular ​dental check-ups and good oral hygiene practices to extend the lifespan of your fillings.​
