The majority of people have had at least one filling in their life. A filling is used as a way to repair damage to the teeth caused by decay and is an effective treatment for restoring normal function and shape to an otherwise damaged tooth.

There are many types of fillings and they all provide a number of benefits, including:

• Protecting teeth from further damage
• Preventing tooth loss
• Making it easier to clean your teeth
• Reducing bacteria in the mouth

Why Choose Fillings As An Option For My Smile?

Having a filling is one of the most ubiquitous dental treatments available, and not without good reason.

When a filling is fitted, decayed tooth material is firstly cleaned away and then the cavity is filled, most commonly with a silver amalgam (although other options including gold, porcelain and white filling are also available).

Fillings are not only great for restoring shape to your teeth but also for preventing further decay from occurring.
