Top Dental Fillings Bexleyheath for a Healthier, Brighter Smile
If you have a damaged or decayed tooth, Vogue Dental near Bexleyheath provides dental fillings as a reliable solution to restore both function and appearance.
Traditionally, silver fillings were used to restore natural teeth, however, at Vogue Dental, we only provide white dental fillings because they offer the most aesthetically pleasing and natural-looking result. These are highly durable fillings which protect and restore your damaged tooth.
Most filling procedures are quick and painless, so it’s worth contacting your dental practice for an appointment as soon as possible. Delaying treatment could lead to further decay and require more complex treatment later on.
Our award-winning clinic is located on the High Street in Chislehurst, Kent – less than 20 minutes by car from Bexleyheath. Book an appointment online, or give our dental practice a call on 020 3758 7800.
Why Do I Need a Dental Filling?
A filling is used to seal cavities – openings in the tooth caused by decay, wear and tear, or trauma. Decay is the most common culprit, often developing when left untreated.
Addressing a cavity early with a filling is crucial, as delaying treatment can lead to severe pain and further deterioration, potentially resulting in tooth loss. By acting quickly, we can preserve your natural tooth and keep your smile healthy and strong.
What is a Filling?
To put it simply, fillings are when the dentist uses a specially made material to fill openings in your tooth. With white fillings, we use a tooth-coloured resin material that mimics your natural teeth.
Fillings can repair many dental issues, restoring your natural teeth and protecting them from future damage.
What are White Fillings?
White fillings are made from a mixture of plastic resin and fine glass particles, which are the same materials used in composite bonding. They can be colour-matched to your natural teeth, making them virtually indistinguishable once applied – hence why they’re sometimes called ‘invisible fillings.’
The difference between a composite filling and a silver filling (also known as an amalgam filling) is that you can’t see the repair. This is why they’re frequently chosen by patients for their natural look.
Benefits of White Fillings
White fillings offer a range of advantages, making them an excellent choice for those seeking a more natural-looking restoration. Unlike silver amalgam fillings, white fillings blend seamlessly with your teeth, providing a discreet solution that enhances the appearance of your smile.
They also require less healthy tooth structure to be removed during the procedure, which means they’re less invasive and more preserving of your natural tooth. At our award-winning dental practice near Bexleyheath, we proudly offer white fillings as a great alternative to traditional amalgam fillings, providing you with a more aesthetically pleasing and conservative option for tooth restoration.
How Long Do Dental Fillings Last?
The lifespan of a dental filling can vary, but with proper care, it can last up to ten years. Factors such as your oral habits, any trauma to the tooth, and the type of filling used all play a role in how long it will remain intact.
To maximise the longevity of your filling, it’s important to maintain good oral hygiene and avoid habits that could cause damage. Regular check-ups with your dentist also help ensure your fillings remain in good condition for as long as possible.
