Dental Fillings in Handforth
A dental filling is a quick and easy way to repair a tooth that has been damaged by cavities and decay, restoring both its function and natural shape. At Cheadle Village Dental Practice near Handforth, our highly skilled dentists offer fillings made and fitted with precision and care for excellent long-term results.
When a tooth becomes decayed, this can cause holes to appear in the surface, exposing the delicate layers underneath. When a hole is discovered, our talented dentists will remove the decayed material and give the affected area a thorough clean. Once cleaned, the cavity is filled with filling material to prevent further decay from occurring and restore the tooth’s overall structure. This can also stop the nerve from becoming damaged and save you from discomfort and pain.
Types of dental fillings
- Gold fillings Gold fillings, also called inlays, are custom-made for each patient in a laboratory and cemented into place by our team of professional dentists. They are tolerated well by gum tissue and highly durable, often lasting over two decades once fitted in position. This is a more costly, yet highly effective option.
- Silver amalgam fillings Silver amalgam fillings are both durable and more cost-effective than gold. They are highly resistant to wear and tear, making them ideal to go in the back of the mouth where the teeth are most susceptible to damage through heavy chewing and biting. However, their dark colour makes them more visible in the mouth as compared to other materials.
- Porcelain fillings (inlays) Porcelain fillings are crafted in a laboratory to match your tooth colour. They offer excellent resistance to staining and are suitable for larger cavities that cover more or most of the tooth. They offer durability and aesthetics, with an associated cost around the same as gold fillings.
- Composite (tooth-coloured) fillings Composite fillings are made to match the shade of your natural teeth, providing a discreet and aesthetically pleasing result. They are best suited to smaller cavities and areas where a natural appearance is preferred. However, they may not last as long as gold, silver or porcelain fillings and can stain over time.
Choosing the right filling
Your choice of filling material is entirely up to you and will depend on a number of factors. These include the scope and size of repair needed, the filling location, any metal or other allergies you may have and jhow much you wish to spend.
