Dental Filling for a Beautiful, Healthy Smile

Dental fillings restore structure, strength, and functionality to teeth that have been decayed or broken. If you experience any of the following symptoms, you may need a filling:

• Pain when eating
• Sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet food and beverages
• Food trapping

If a dental examination and radiograph confirm that you need fillings, it’s important to schedule an appointment immediately, to prevent an infection that could damage the nerves in your teeth.

Dental Fillings we offer at Smile 4 U, Croydon Dental Clinic:

• Traditional silver coloured fillings made from amalgam, which is strong and durable.
• White fillings that consist of tooth coloured composite resins which are bonded to your tooth. These restorations are aesthetically pleasing because they blend in naturally with your teeth, while also providing direct support to weakened tooth structures.

We also provide tooth-coloured ceramic fillings called inlays and onlays, which are typically used to treat larger cavities. Natural in appearance, these restorations preserve more of your natural tooth than full crowns.

Prices for white fillings will vary depending on their size, shape and their location in your mouth. Should we discover you need a filling at your dental check-up, we will give you the price and treatment options for both white and metal amalgam fillings.
