Fillings
What is a filling?
A filling is a strong material that we use to restore/rebuild damaged teeth.
How did my tooth become damaged?
The 5 most common reasons are:
Tooth Decay
Acid Wear
Grindding or Clenching Habits
Over-Brushing
Trauma
How does it work?
Anaesthetic
Our dental professional will give you a pain-free numbing injection (optional).
Filling
Next we will restore the tooth using layers of material until it is back to its form.
Cleaning
We will then remove the damage and clean the tooth.
Polishing
Finally we will smooth everything off and check your bite is even.
