​Repairing Teeth


Fillings

FILLINGS

Picture
When you visit for a check-up, your dentist will use a small inspection mirror to assess the surface of your teeth, looking for signs of decay or little cracks and fissures. They will let you know as soon as they see anything that might require treatment. A small filling is a lasting preventative solution far outweighs a root canal treatment resulting from extensive decay. By closing up the gap, your dentist prevents bacteria from getting in and preserving your tooth in the least invasive way.
The process is straightforward and often only requires one or two appointments at your local Sheffield practice. Once your dentist has assessed the area that requires treatment, they will clear out any decay before filling the clean cavity with a material of your choice. This can be discussed further with your dentist.
​
Your dental fillings can wear away, crack or chip from grinding, clenching or chewing. If we identify a weakness in your restoration, it may be necessary to replace the filling. Left untreated, the seal between the tooth and the filling breaks, allowing bacteria and food to enter and cause decay.
​
Should you require a filling, your dentist will discuss with you the different options available and best advise on the most suitable for you and your teeth.

We listen to what you want and advise you on what you need.
