Understanding Fillings

Back to Treatments

Dental fillings fill holes in teeth -

David uses the latest proven techniques to repair teeth

 Using a thin rubber sheet around the teeth

allows David to place the fillings optimally and safely

Fillings can be put in directly or indirectly - 

Great attention to detail ensures a predictable result

Direct fillings are put into the hole in the tooth by the dentist

Indirect fillings (called inlays or onlays)

are made outside of the mouth

(either by machine or in a laboratory by a dental technologist)

the dentist then glues the filling into the hole
