Dental Fillings.
At Smilo Dental, we provide high-quality dental fillings in Battersea to help restore damaged or decayed teeth. Whether you have cavities, worn teeth from grinding, or damage from chewing hard foods, our fillings help protect your teeth, restore function, and improve your smile. We use tooth-coloured materials that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth for a discreet and long-lasting solution.
What Are Dental Fillings?
Dental fillings are materials used to repair teeth affected by decay, wear, or minor damage. At Smilo Dental, we use white fillings made from composite resin, which are matched to your natural tooth colour.
Unlike traditional silver amalgam fillings, these white fillings are discreet, often impossible to spot, and can last up to ten years with proper care. The composite resin is applied in layers and hardened with UV light, providing both strength and aesthetics.
Benefits and Suitability.
Dental fillings are suitable for anyone with tooth decay, small cracks, or worn enamel. Benefits include:
• Restoring tooth structure: Fillings help maintain the shape and function of your teeth.
• Discreet appearance: Tooth-coloured materials blend naturally with your smile.
• Durability: White fillings can last many years with proper oral hygiene.
• Comfort and safety: The procedure is minimally invasive and performed in a calm, professional environment.
Whether you need treatment for a single tooth or multiple areas, Smilo Dental ensures a comfortable experience tailored to your needs.
The Dental Fillings Treatment Process.
1. Consultation: Your dentist will assess your teeth and determine the best type of filling.
2. Preparation: The affected tooth is cleaned, and any decay is removed.
3. Filling Placement: A composite resin material is applied in layers. Each layer is hardened using UV light.
4. Finishing: The filling is shaped and polished to match your natural tooth surface.
5. Check: Your bite and comfort are checked before completing the procedure.
The entire process is quick, often completed in a single visit, ensuring minimal disruption to your routine.
• Avoid very hard or sticky foods for the first 24 hours.
• Maintain good oral hygiene with brushing and flossing.
• Attend regular dental check-ups to monitor the fillings.
