Used to prevent the spread of tooth decay or correct any cosmetic damage, a filling is just one of the ways our dentists preserve your health. Before placement, any rot must be cleaned out. We offer local anaesthesia to ensure maximum comfort for our patients. There are two different types of fillings: amalgam (otherwise known as silver fillings) and composite resin, the colour of which can be customised to match your natural teeth.

Amalgam "Metal" fillings

Amalgam fillings are the most durable and economical option for our patients. Commonly used for filling in molar cavities, amalgam fillings can withstand biting pressure and can be fully administered in a single visit. 

Composite Resin "White" fillings

Since the colour of a composite resin filling can be customized, it is the most aesthetically pleasing option. These are ideal for repairing chipped or cracked teeth, filling in a tooth gap, correcting dental discolouration, protecting any exposed tooth root from gum recession, or changing the shape of teeth. Patients may also choose composite resin for cavity fillings as they are bonded to the teeth in layers and therefore require less drilling away of the natural tooth.
