Our diet and lifestyle has a huge impact on our teeth. A filling is when material is placed into the tooth in order to replace missing tooth structure or substance, they are also used when teeth have small to moderate decay or fractures to restore tooth function.
If you have already had a filling, pressure from chewing, griniding or clenching can cause existing fillings to crack, chip or wear. You may not know that old fillings are wearing down but regular dental checks can help you identify issues early.
There are various different filling options that may be available to you and we can even replace your amalgam (metal) fillings with tooth coloured fillings to enhance your appearance.
