Dental Fillings in Handforth

Fillings are used to treat cavity or fill the decayed portion of the teeth. Fillings are also used to repair cracked or broken teeth and teeth that have been worn down from misuse.

Our doctors and staff care about you and your dental needs. We work as a team to provide affordable dental services; both professionally and efficiently. We are highly skilled and trained in general and cosmetic dentistry, and dentures.

Types of Filling Materials

• Gold Fillings: Made to order in a laboratory and cemented into place, gold fillings are durable and well-tolerated by gum tissues. They can last over 20 years but require multiple visits and are the most expensive option.

• Silver Amalgam Fillings: These are resistant to wear and cost-effective. However, their dark color makes them more noticeable, so they are typically used for less visible areas, such as back teeth.

• Composite Resins: These tooth-colored fillings are aesthetically pleasing, blending in with your natural teeth. They are ideal for areas requiring a natural appearance but may not be suitable for large fillings as they can chip or wear over time and may stain from coffee, tea, or tobacco.

• Porcelain Fillings: Known as inlays or onlays, porcelain fillings are custom-made in a lab and bonded to the tooth. They match the tooth color and resist staining, covering most of the tooth. Their cost is comparable to gold fillings.
