Aftercare for dental fillings is straightforward. A healthy diet, regular brushing and flossing, coupled with regular dental check-ups, should be sufficient to maintain your restored tooth.
Patients have the option of super-strong silver (amalgam) fillings, which are ideal for fixing cavities that aren’t in the visible smile line, or, if they prefer, white fillings designed to blend in flawlessly with their existing teeth. Either way, our tooth fillings are designed to protect the tooth, keeping it strong and healthy.

Dental fillings are used to replace areas of the tooth where the dentist has removed decay (cavities). A tooth filling covers the area, protecting the tooth and stopping further infection. When a filling is made from composite material, it can either be a dental inlay, where the material is inserted into the damaged area of the tooth to protect and add strength, or a dental onlay. An onlay is performed when the dentist needs to cover the entire biting surface of the tooth.
Once our team has assessed your case and determined whether a dental filling is the best course of action, treatment for a filling typically takes around 20-30 minutes and remains a comfortable procedure.
Dental fillings are a routine procedure, and Dr Shahin, Dr Pirvu, and their team have placed countless fillings over the years to protect teeth and enhance a smile. So, if you need a filling, you can rest assured that you’re in safe and knowledgeable hands. Book an appointment today!
