Fillings

Fillings are used to repair teeth that have become damaged due to decay or wear and tear, returning them to full function and health.

At Brimington Dental Practice, our skilled and compassionate team are highly experienced when it comes to placing fillings. Used to ‘fill in’ cavities that form in a tooth as a result of decay or wear and tear, fillings are one of the most commonly carried out restorative treatments and at Brimington Dental Practice, we offer both traditional amalgam fillings, and white composite fillings.

White fillings have become increasingly popular as they’re able to blend in much more naturally with the rest of the mouth and can be shade-matched to the natural tooth. Made of a composite resin material, white fillings are also bonded to the tooth which can help further strengthen the structure, leaving it better protected from further decay or damage. Despite the popularity of white fillings, there are still cases where an amalgam filling might be more suitable or appropriate – we’ll be sure to discuss all your options and make sure we’re making the decision that’s right for you during a consultation.
