Fillings & Extraction

What are white fillings?
According to the Oral Health Foundation, white fillings consist of a blend of a tooth coloured resins and very fine glass particles. The best thing about these fillings is that they can exactly match the colour and shade of the adjacent teeth. Because of their excellent aesthetics and sufficient strength, we use for composite fillings for restoring damaged teeth and to eliminate cosmetic tooth defects.

Who can benefit from white fillings?
Composite fillings are commonly used for the treatment of following dental problems:

• Replace old or damaged silver amalgam fillings
• Restore teeth cavities
• Management of fractured teeth
• Restore a tooth after a root canal procedure
• Restore congenitally de-shaped teeth

What are the advantages of White Fillings?
The composite filling materials possess the following advantages over the silver amalgam fillings:

Natural appearance – with composites, we can exactly match the shade and colour of the filling with the adjacent teeth. As a result, the restored teeth become virtually indistinguishable for the natural teeth.

Tooth Conservation – a major drawback associated with amalgam fillings is that they need extensive removal of healthy tooth structure for their placement. This problem has been eliminated with the white fillings. We just need to remove the damaged tooth structure to restore a tooth with composite fillings.

Sufficient Longevity – with proper care, your white fillings can last for more than 5 years.

Repairability – in case white fillings get damaged or chipped, they can be repaired easily.

Resin based white fillings offer an aesthetically pleasant, safe and durable option for restoring damaged teeth. Whether you need to get rid of decay or you want a new smile, we can take care of all your cosmetic and restorative problems with composite fillings.

Removal of diseased teeth-extractions
It is important that diseased teeth and decayed parts of teeth are not left in the mouth as the effects can spread and cause more damage. We will advise on the most appropriate type of filling from the many materials available.

If the entire tooth needs to be removed to protect the overall health of your mouth we will extract it painlessly and advise on the best form of replacement for the missing tooth.
