Fillings and Restorations
Amalgam fillings in the lower jaw can often be seen when we talk or laugh.But amalgam fillings can also sometimes be seen in the upper jaw.These can be unsightly and can also discolour the tooth.Composite (White) fillings are available to improve this and sometimes it is quite impossible to see the tooth has even had a filling.
We only use the highest quality of composite (white) filling material which is proven to last and to reduce future further decays. Fillings are done when part of the tooth is damaged due to an accident or through decay.
Dental fillings are not painful and are usually completed in one session. Our dental practice can provide you with a wide selection of filling materials which include ceramics, composites and other mercury-free material.
