Fillings

We offer patients the option of two kinds of fillings:

Amalgam Fillings (silver fillings) – the traditional filling material which is very durable, hardwearing and is dark in colour.

White Fillings (composite fillings) – white or tooth coloured fillings provide a more natural, mercury-free alternative to traditional silver amalgam fillings. They also allow for a minimally invasive restoration meaning more of your natural tooth can be preserved.

New white fillings closely match the existing tooth colour, producing a very pleasing result.

The white filling material can also be used to provide build-ups to chipped and damaged teeth.
