Dental Fillings
At Silsoe Dental Clinic we offer composite 'white' fillings which match the colour of natural teeth. Many people opt for white fillings when older style fillings need replacing due to wear and tear. However, if you have dark or discoloured fillings that are visible when smiling or laughing, you may like to change them for aesthetic reasons.
The procedure involves removing any decay from your tooth, taking out the metal or amalgam filling and placing a tooth coloured filling instead. The new filling is made from a very hard substance and will withstand the forces in your mouth when you bite and chew over a long period of time.
This will allow you to smile, giving your teeth a more natural appearance overall.
We believe prevention is always better than cure and will always encourage and help you to look after your teeth so you don't develop tooth decay in the first place. If you do have decay and need a filling then we recommend white fillings as a good solution that is both aesthetic and functional.
So if you are worried about the condition of your old fillings why not book a consultation to see if we could replace them with white fillings for you.
