Fillings
Dental Fillings Newcastle
Dentists have two types of filling we can use. The old amalgam/silver type and the newer white colored (composite). Most fillings we do are composite these days. They look better and the dentist doesn’t have to remove as much tooth structure compared to amalgam. This is because the composite fillings adhere to the tooth structure.
We most commonly use fillings for decay or broken teeth.
COMPOSITE (WHITE) FILLINGS
- Are a plastic and glass mixture that’s close to the colour of your natural teeth
- Are strong and durable
- Aesthetically pleasing
- Will last longer if you practice good oral hygiene, have healthy eating habits and visit us for check – up and cleaning .
- You may experience some sensitivity for a few days as the tooth settles
