Fillings
Fillings can be needed for several reasons such as dental decay, injury and for cosmetic reasons. At Dental Studios, we will use the latest techniques and tools to provide the best possible result for you.
Types of dental fillings:
There are two main types of fillings that are used in dentistry.
Amalgam fillings were used significantly in the past. These are the blackish-grey type metal fillings.
Nowadays, many patients prefer to have what we call Composite fillings. These are adhesive sticky fillings that match the colour of the tooth. Therefore, they can often not be seen in the mouth. In addition, the composite fillings have excellent bonding properties so the amount of tooth drilling is less than the equivalent amalgam filling.
Please speak to your dentist to discuss this in more detail.
