Fillings

Fillings

Dental fillings are used to repair teeth that have been damaged by decay, small fractures or wear. They help restore the tooth’s strength, shape and function while preventing further damage or infection.

Treating decay early with a filling helps avoid more complex treatments such as root canal treatment or extraction. Fillings are a simple but important part of maintaining long-term oral health.

We use high-quality materials to ensure fillings are strong, comfortable and natural-looking.


Types of Fillings

Composite Fillings

These are tooth-coloured fillings that blend naturally with your teeth. They are commonly used for visible areas and small to medium repairs.


Amalgam Fillings

These are silver-coloured metal fillings known for strength and durability. They are often used for back teeth under heavy chewing pressure.


Glass Ionomer Fillings

These release fluoride and are often used for children or areas with lower biting pressure.


Temporary Fillings

These are short-term fillings used while waiting for permanent treatment such as crowns or root canal treatment.
