Why would you want Composite Fillings?
When tooth decay sets in and erodes away the tooth structure, holes can start to appear. Its very important that these holes are not left untreated as bacteria can start to creep in and cause further complications with the tooth (leading to potential tooth loss).
Composite is a friendlier white material (than amalgam) that is made to blend in with your natural tooth. So not only will it plug up the hole (cavity) but it will also be more aesthetically pleasing than a silver filling.
Have you got amalgam fillings (silver) and would like to update to a composite filling (white)? Here’s an example of what our dentists can do, your composite filling won’t only be tooth coloured but also tooth shaped. It’s amazing how realistic they look.

How to prevent cavities?
We are big advocates for preventative dentistry. What this means is, we want to look after your natural teeth for as long as possible. The best treatment in dentistry is to prevent problems from occurring.
Cavities are linked with poor oral hygiene and the foods/drinks you consume. Sugar is our teeth’s worst enemy. Sugar leaves a film over our teeth which in turn creates an acid, that actively eats away at our teeth. For best practice, it is advisable to brush your teeth after every meal to remove any left over food debris or sugary film.
Now we know that after every meal can seem quite extreme – but this would be the gold standard to taking care of teeth. The daily guidelines are at least twice a day (which can still deliver very good oral hygiene).

Our happy patients
“Very friendly and helpful staff,
I definitely will recommend to others.”
“This was the first time I had met Anit and she gave me a very thorough check up and good advice re dental care. I will be returning to her soon for the follow up work to be done.”
“On arrival, receptionist was friendly and polite. The dentist also was friendly and polite she explained the treatment.”
“As a long-term patient at the practice, I have witnessed a lot of change over the years but the one constant is the professionalism and caring side of the practice. I and my family use Denplan and come twice a year for check-ups/hygienists and are looked after very well. Yesterday, on my regular check-up, a part of my filling had broken so I was back today to sort it. To say my anxiety was high was an understatement! But the dental nurse was amazing and with the wonderful dentist, they got me through it in a very subtle but successful way! Their patience was so appreciated! A huge thank you from me.”
Both the dentist and the hygienist were very pleasant. They listened to what I had to say and responded well.
