Fillings

Fillings are a way to restore damaged, broken or decayed teeth. There are two types of filling materials used: amalgam fillings or tooth-coloured fillings. Amalgam fillings are made from a mixture of metals. These fillings are extremely durable and have a longer life span. Tooth-coloured fillings are made from a resin – these are a natural looking alternative. These fillings can be made virtually undetectable.

No one type of filling will suit every patient: it will be determined by a number of criteria such as the location of the filling and the extent of the repair. Here in Old Bawn Dental, we advise on the best option for you by suggesting what type of filling will be best for you.
