Unlike outdated mercury amalgam fillings, our tooth fillings are safe to use and incredibly versatile. If you need to fill a cavity, replace a lost tooth, or protect a weakened tooth, fillings get the job done. Our fillings could also help those needing minor cosmetic corrections, such as restoring a chipped tooth or altering the shape of a damaged tooth.
Whatever your needs, our team can offer quality treatments that promise lasting results. Besides their versatility, our tooth-coloured fillings also resemble your natural teeth’s appearance.
There are four main types of fillings. Composite fillings are ‘white’ fillings that closely resemble the colour of natural teeth. Amalgam fillings are extremely strong tooth fillings that contain a mixture of metals, such as silver, tin, zinc, and copper. Porcelain fillings are more suitable for areas that experience maximum chewing pressure. Gold fillings are more durable, but their high cost makes them less ideal. Additionally, they do not match your natural teeth’s appearance.
Generally, the procedure takes around 20 minutes. However, the precise length of your treatment depends on your specific situation.
Tooth fillings generally cause no side effects or allergic reactions. However, some patients might experience minor sensitivity or discomfort after the procedure, but these symptoms will subside after a few days.
Fillings can last anywhere from 10 to 12 years, depending on how well you care for them.
