While prevention through brushing and flossing is definitely better than cure when it comes to caring for your teeth and gums, should tooth decay develop, your dentist has a range of options for restoring your teeth’s shape and function
During a regular check-up, your dentist will examine your teeth for these defects, and using X-rays to pinpoint the location and extent of decay, will then decide on the best method to restore the integrity of your tooth, which may include fillings.
We start with a thorough check-up to identify any decay or damage, using the latest diagnostic tools to ensure nothing is missed.
Your comfort is our priority. We gently numb the area so you won’t feel a thing during treatment.
We carefully remove the decay and prepare the tooth to ensure a perfect fit for the filling.
A tooth-coloured resin is applied and shaped to match your smile. It's then hardened with a curing light, leaving you with a strong, natural-looking result.
