DENTAL FILLINGS
Oracare is committed to preserving your natural teeth, enhancing your smile and promoting your overall health.
Restore And Retain Your Natural Teeth
We understand the importance of preserving your natural teeth for as long as possible. That’s why we provide high-quality dental fillings, a common and effective treatment that repairs teeth affected by decay or injury.
By restoring your teeth to their normal function and shape, we can help ensure your smile remains healthy, comfortable, and beautiful.
What is a Dental Filling?
A dental filling is a widely used restorative procedure. When a tooth becomes damaged by decay or fracture, it’s necessary to remove the affected part of the tooth to prevent further complications.
The empty area, or ‘cavity’, is then filled with a biocompatible material. We offer 2 filling options, including composite resin and porcelain.
Your dentist at Oracare will help you select the most suitable material based on the tooth’s location, the extent of repair, cost and aesthetic considerations.
Do I Need a Dental Filling?
Signs that you might need a dental filling include:
cracked or chipped tooth (can cause entry for decay-causing bacteria and also be sharp and jagged to touch)
toothache (persistent or occasional tooth pain while eating or biting)
tooth sensitivity (increased sensitivity to hot, cold, sweet or acidic food and drinks can indicate decay)
visible holes, pits or discolouration (small holes, pits or dark/discoloured spots on the surface of your teeth)
food lodging (frequent food stuck in an area may cause decay or cavities)
