What different options can i be offered?
Treatment tailored to your individual needs
The reason why you might be offered or advised to get a filling can differ from patient to patient.
Dependent on the scheme there are different types of fillings that you can receive, whether that be NHS, Independent or Private.
The Types of Fillings
Amalgam Fillings
Strong, durable restoration for suitable teeth.
Amalgam fillings are a traditional type of dental filling made from a combination of metals. They have been used in dentistry for many years and are known for their strength and durability, particularly when restoring back teeth that are subject to significant chewing forces.
During your appointment, our dental team will assess the tooth and discuss the most appropriate treatment options with you. Where an amalgam filling is suitable and clinically appropriate, we provide high-quality professional care with your comfort and long-term oral health in mind.
Where appropriate, alternative materials such as tooth-coloured composite may also be available, and we will explain the options suitable for your individual circumstances.
Fissure Sealant
Protecting vulnerable teeth from decay.
Fissure sealants are a preventative dental treatment used to protect the deep grooves and natural fissures on the chewing surfaces of teeth. These areas can be difficult to clean thoroughly and may be more susceptible to plaque build-up and tooth decay.
A fissure sealant is a thin protective coating applied to the tooth surface, creating a smoother area that is easier to keep clean. The treatment is quick, gentle and generally requires no drilling or removal of healthy tooth structure.
Our experienced dental team will assess your individual needs and advise whether fissure sealants may be beneficial. We provide high-quality, professional care with a focus on prevention and maintaining your long-term oral health.
White filling
Natural-looking restorations for a confident smile.
White fillings, also known as composite fillings, are a modern restorative treatment used to repair teeth affected by decay, damage or wear. The tooth-coloured material can be carefully matched to your natural tooth shade, creating a discreet and natural-looking result.
Our experienced dental team takes a careful and personalised approach to every treatment, focusing on preserving as much healthy tooth structure as possible while restoring the tooth’s appearance and function.
We provide high-quality, professional care in a comfortable environment and will take the time to discuss your treatment options with you, helping you make an informed decision about your dental care.
