Dental fillings are required in order to fill any holes that have formed in your teeth (cavities) or to fix any other type of damage that they may have sustained. Because cavities get worse over time, the sooner that our expert orthodontists and dental surgeons spot and fill them, the less likely you are to experience any problems later on. This is why regular routine examinations are so important.

Without treatment, tooth damage or a cavity can cause infection, bad breath, toothache, and even the fracturing or loss of your tooth.

Types Of Fillings

There are numerous different materials that can be used for the purpose of filling a cavity. Direct fillings, such as composite ones, can be applied in a single sitting. Indirect fillings, such as porcelain ones, require a couple of visits to the Accu Dental clinic as your tooth needs to be treated with a bespoke filling that requires crafting in a dental laboratory prior to fitting in order to meet your specific needs.

The Procedure

A straightforward direct filling requires little to no planning and can be done on the same day as your routine examination appointment. Once our experts have had a good look at your teeth, they will thoroughly clean the site and clean the cavity with the filling material.

The material will then be cured and you’ll be given the all clear to leave the Accu Dental clinic.
