Dental Fillings

Searching for dental fillings in Putney? Riverside Dental Practice offers expert care for tooth decay, cavities, sensitivity, chipped or broken teeth, worn-down enamel, and wear from grinding. Fillings restore and protect your smile effectively.

We provide silver (amalgam) or tooth-coloured (composite) fillings. Amalgam, a metal mix with mercury, is sturdy but noticeable. Composite fillings, made from resin matching your natural teeth, blend in beautifully.

What Are Composite Fillings?

Composite fillings are a modern, discreet option for fixing cavities, fractures, or minor damage, offering a natural look and reliable function.

When Do You Need a Filling?

  • Tooth Decay & Cavities: Stops decay by sealing damage.
  • Chipped or Broken Teeth: Repairs trauma.
  • Sensitivity: Shields worn enamel.
  • Wear: Restores teeth from grinding or aging.

What to Expect After
