Fillings

There are various materials that can be used for fillings, each with its own set of benefits and considerations. The two most widely used types of fillings are composite and amalgam:

• Composite fillings are made from a mixture of plastic and glass, and they can be customized to match the exact colour of your natural teeth. This makes composite fillings an excellent choice for teeth that are visible when you smile, as they blend seamlessly with the surrounding tooth structure. Composite fillings are not only aesthetically pleasing but also provide a durable, functional solution to cavities.
• Amalgam fillings are made from a combination of metals, including mercury, silver, and tin. While these fillings are incredibly strong and long-lasting, they are more noticeable due to their metallic appearance. Amalgam fillings are typically used for molars or other teeth that are less visible, where strength and durability are the primary concern.

We believe in offering treatments that blend seamlessly with your teeth, giving you both a functional and aesthetically pleasing result.
