If tooth decay is detected early and is not too serious, our experienced dentists can carefully remove the decayed portion of the tooth and restore it using a white, tooth-coloured filling. These modern fillings blend naturally with your teeth, making them a more aesthetic and discreet option compared to traditional silver amalgam fillings.

If you currently have older silver fillings, we can safely replace these with white fillings to give your smile a more natural appearance. This is a common treatment we offer to patients looking to enhance the look of their teeth while ensuring their dental health is maintained.

Dental decay occurs when the outer enamel and inner dentine of a tooth are weakened by acids produced by plaque bacteria. Over time, this can lead to a cavity (hole) forming in the tooth. If left untreated, decay can worsen, potentially leading to pain, infection, or the need for more extensive treatment.

Regular check-ups and good oral hygiene are key to spotting and treating decay early, helping you maintain a healthy, confident smile.
