Fillings are a common procedure but, nonetheless, require care and attention to ensure that fillings stand the test of time and prevent further erosion.
Fillings are an effective way to restore teeth that have been damaged by decay, chipped or fractured teeth, and to improve the aesthetic appearance of a smile by replacing old amalgam fillings. At Aspire Dental and Facial Aesthetics we use a material called Composite Resin which is blended together to create a shade that makes the filling indistinguishable from your natural teeth.
Fillings are generally placed under a local anaesthetic and therefore should be painless. There may be a period of sensitivity after the anaesthetic wears off however this should not last long and is entirely normal.
