Dental fillings

Dental Fillings: Improve Your Smile and change your life.

Dental fillings are a common way to treat cavities and stop them from getting worse. BUT what makes our approach special, and why are we proud of it?

Why us?

Less Invasive, Longer-Lasting: We use a material called composite for our fillings, which means we don’t have to remove healthy tooth material, as for ‘traditional’ metal fillings. This keeps more of your natural tooth, making your treated tooth last longer.

Better-Looking, More Confident: We don’t just use any white filling material; we use layering technique, that means we carefully layer composite resins of different thicknesses and shades. This makes our fillings look just like your natural teeth. So not only do your fillings blend in and look natural, but it is proven that natural nice smile also boosts your confidence and makes your smile ‘brighter’.

Future proof, cost effective: Compared to metal fillings, it is much easier to detect early signs of deterioration around the composite filling during your check up, because they are white and do not create a shadow like some metal fillings. That means we can catch and treat any issues early. This can save you from sudden toothaches and expensive emergency treatments down the road.

Restoring of Chewing and Enjoyment of Life: We pay close attention to restoring the natural shape of your teeth. This doesn’t just make your fillings look real; it also makes them work like your natural teeth. This improves your digestion and possibly the process of eating and through this the overall quality of your life.

Holistic approach in material selection. As well as avoiding silver-mercury based amalgams, we use bisphenol A glycidyl methacrylate (Bis-GMA) FREE filling materials as concerns have been raised about the estrogenic effect of BIS-GMA, realised from some resins filling materials.
