Fillings

Prevent & Restore: Our Focus on Dental Decay

Dental decay is caused by sugar acting on bacteria in the mouth. At The Willows, our focus is on the prevention of dental decay. However, in the event that tooth decay does occur, a filling can be used to stop further decay and repair the tooth, bringing it back to normal in both its function and form.

Other reasons for the need for fillings may include tooth wear, injury, or trauma to the teeth due to sports or even tooth wear caused by habits such as grinding your teeth.

It is very important to have a filling as soon as possible; otherwise, the decay could deepen, resulting in pain, and more complex treatment may be required.

There are two main types of filling material used in dentistry: composite resin (white) fillings and amalgam (silver) fillings. Your dentist will discuss the options of which filling material to use and the pros and cons of each type.
