Dental Fillings

What is a Filling?

Fillings are tooth-coloured plastic materials bonded into teeth to repair any damaged areas. Holes and damage in teeth can be caused by decay, brushing too hard, trauma, and clenching and grinding damage.

​

Fillings are a good way to fix small to medium sized holes in your teeth. Larger holes and cracks in your teeth are best treated with porcelain or ceramic fillings and crowns. Your dentist will offer you different options and can advise which one will be the best for you.
