Fillings
We believe that there is no real substitute for your own tooth and our first preference is to save your tooth.
Inlays/Onlays
In cases with larger cavities or broken down areas, an inlay or onlay to cover more of the tooth's surface may be indicated. These restorations are indirect because they require two visits and fabrication by a dental laboratory. The ceramic restorations are considerably more expensive and therefore simple, one-visit composite fillings are typically used instead for small fillings. Ceramic restorations are much more durable and will not stain.
Naturally speaking, the final result with ceramics is spectacular. White inlays or onlays are actually glued into the tooth and there is now a body of research that claims that because of this the tooth ends up stronger after such a procedure, less prone to problems down the road.

Metal-Free Dentistry
Conservative treatments like tooth coloured fillings are preventing the side effects of toothaches and broken teeth. Intercepting the potential of fracture before experiencing symptoms of hot or cold sensitivity and
biting pain makes it possible to preserve the healthy remaining tooth structure. By being proactive rather than reactive towards amalgam replacement, many of our patients are happy to report having had such a superior experience by eliminating unnecessary pain.

Composite Resin (Tooth Coloured) Fillings
A composite resin is a tooth-coloured plastic mixture
filled with glass (silicon dioxide). Composites are not
only used for restoring decay, but are also used for cosmetic improvements of the smile by changing the colour of the teeth or reshaping disfigured teeth. There
are no known health risks of receiving composite fillings.
The Benefits
Great alternative to traditional metal dental fillings due to the fact that they are tooth coloured, i.e. looks like you haven’t got fillings.
They are strong, durable, and make for a very natural looking smile. |
