Fillings

Our fillings have the added benefit of looking natural

Fillings are one of the most basic methods of restoring teeth.  They are used to fill a hole in the tooth that has most probably been caused by decay or excessive wear, helping us to keep the remaining tooth for many more years.

At Cheltenham Dental Spa, we use the most effective, modern, tooth-coloured materials which are safe and do not create other health issues unlike the more traditional grey amalgam fillings. These tooth-coloured fillings look very natural, so no-one will be able to tell you have them.

Normally a local anaesthetic and/or a gel will be used, the decay from the tooth is removed leaving only healthy tissue which can then be filled.  For tooth coloured fillings, the material is placed into the hole in layers, each layer is light cured to speed up the setting process.

We will then shape the filling, so that it looks as realistic as possible. Your bite will also be checked to make sure that the new filling does not interfere with the way your teeth meet when you bite and chew.
