A filling is used to literally fill in a hole in a tooth that has arisen due to tooth decay. More commonly referred to as either a cavity or a caries these holes can cause food and debris to get trapped and caught, leading to tooth decay. They can also get larger over time if left untreated.
If you’re coming into London Bridge Dental Practice for regular check-ups, then hopefully we should spot any cavities that need to be filled before you experience any symptoms. However, you might also experience increased sensitivity, pain when biting down, and even toothache.
Here at London Bridge Dental Practice, we only use the highest quality filling material to ensure optimal longevity. Patients have been choosing white or tooth-coloured fillings to better shade-match with the rest of their natural teeth.
One main material we use is Spectrum TPH (Total Performance Hybrid), it is a sub-micron hybrid composite for the restoration of both anterior and posterior teeth. Spectrum TPH gives: Security through high resistance to wear in all indications and long term marginal integrity. Aesthetics through excellent colour adaption and polishability as well as 9 vita shades.
