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?
01
Tooth is numbed, and decay removed.
02
Resin is layered and set with light.
03
Polished for comfort.
Mild sensitivity or soreness is common for a few days, especially with deep fillings or in younger patients, but it’s usually temporary. Rarely, deep fillings may irritate the nerve, possibly requiring further treatment like a root canal.
Composite fillings offer a lasting, natural fix for cavities and wear. Visit Riverside Dental Practice Putney for trusted dental care!
