Tooth Restoration

What kind of fillings do you offer?

Some of your teeth may have amalgam fillings (silver and black), some are ‘white’ for the natural look. We offer high quality white composite fillings which have become more popular because some people feel conscious about their ‘silver’ ones. We can replace old fillings with white ones, and you will be amazed at how natural they look. 

So, what are white fillings? They are constructed from tiny particles of glass and synthetic resin. Although they used to be considered less durable than the traditional fillings, that’s no longer the case. Before filling a tooth, we look at the bigger picture of your oral health, and consider if there are any other options. If a filling is necessary, anaesthesia is used so you will be pain-free, and we shape the filling carefully to make it as unobtrusive as possible. Finally, we check your bite is not altered and make final adjustments if necessary. We can advise you as to which filling will work best for you – that’s what we are here for!

A natural-looking crown blends in with the rest of your smile!

Crowns can also cover up any unsightly damage, and protect the rest of the tooth. It’s a tried-and-tested form of dental treatment, perfect for a chipped or weakened tooth, and each time it is completely unique to its owner. At The Dental Wave we offer a choice of materials including porcelain and ceramic combinations or even gold alloy. We will discuss all your options as we understand it’s a big decision!

Composite bonding is a great way of resolving minor damage to teeth.

Composite bonding is typically used for filling chips, fractures or gaps between teeth and for fixing discolouration.

We take a composite resin and this is attached to a tooth and then shaped to restore its original appearance. We match the colour of the resin to your natural teeth, so it’s a perfect fit.
