Amalgam Fillings

  • Best for: Back teeth (molars)
  • Amalgam fillings are durable and strong, making them ideal for molars that endure heavy chewing pressure.

Glass Ionomer Fillings

  • Best for: Baby teeth or areas that are less stressed
  • Glass ionomer fillings release fluoride to help protect your tooth against decay. They are often used in areas that are not exposed to heavy chewing pressure.

Why You Might Need a Filling

Fillings are essential to restore teeth that have been affected by decay, trauma or wear. If you’re experiencing any of the following it might be time to consider a filling:

Tooth Pain or Sensitivity

Sensitivity to hot or cold foods and drinks may indicate a cavity

Visible Holes or Dark Spots

Cavities often appear as visible holes or dark spots on your teeth.

Chipped or Cracked Teeth

A cracked or broken tooth can be restored with a filling to prevent further damage.

General Wear

Teeth that have been worn down by grinding or age can be restored with fillings.

What to Expect During Your Visit

Step 1: Consultation & Examination
Your dentist will begin by examining your teeth and checking for any signs of cavities or decay. X-rays may be taken to assess the extent of the damage.
Step 2: Filling Procedure
The area around the tooth will be numbed to ensure comfort during your visit to the dentist in Islington. The decayed part of the tooth will be carefully removed then the cavity will be cleaned.
Step 3: Placement of the Filling
The filling material will be placed into the cavity, shaped to match your tooth’s natural contours and hardened. For composite fillings we use a special light to cure the material.
Step 4: Aftercare & Follow-Up
Once the filling is in place your dentist will check your bite to ensure everything feels comfortable. You’ll be provided with aftercare instructions to maintain your filling and protect your tooth.
