Filling

You will get metal free composite fillings, which are more attractive than silver amalgam and do not contain mercury as amalgam fillings. The filling material composed of resign with small glass or ceramic particles, and hardened with a special ultraviolet light. We colour the fillings to match to your surrounding teeth making the filling as natural looking as your existing teeth.

If a cavity (decay) was too large for a filling or you needed root canal treatment, you would get an inlay or onlay or crown.

Treatment in steps:

dentist removes decay in your tooth and cleans cavity. See amalgam removal, if you had old amalgam filling
prepares space for the filling
places tooth-coloured material in layers
uses a special light that hardens each layer
polishes your tooth
