Restorative Treatment

FILLINGS

When natural tooth structure is lost due to cavities, trauma or wear and tear, a dental restoration or filling can be placed to restore the tooth’s function, aesthetics and integrity. With the advancement of modern sciences, we now have choices of different materials to restore our teeth with.

Amalgam

Dental amalgam restorations have been used world-wide for a long time. Although not the most aesthetic material, it is still commonly used for tooth fillings owing to it's strength and longevity. However modern dentistry now offers more aesthetic materials with improved properties.

Composite Resin

Composite resins have mainly been used on the front teeth, where a silver filling would be noticeable. Thanks to advances in modern dental materials and techniques, teeth can now be restored with more aesthetic and natural appearing filling materials. Increasingly, these fillings are now also being used on the back teeth. The materials come in a variety of shades so that they will match the colour of your own teeth.
