What is a filling?

A filling is a dental treatment that restores a tooth damaged by decay. The process involves removing the decayed part of the tooth and then filling the cavity with a suitable material to restore its function and shape. Fillings also help seal off areas to prevent further decay.

We offer several materials for fillings, including composite resin for a natural look, and glass ionomer, which is often used for children's teeth.

Why you might need a filling

You may need a filling if your tooth has been affected by decay, a fracture, or general wear and tear. Common signs include sensitivity, discomfort, or visible cavities. That's why regular check-ups at Ferry Dental Centre are so important - they help us spot any early signs of decay before they develop into bigger problems.

By taking a preventative approach, we can help you keep your natural teeth healthy and strong for years to come.

The importance of dental hygiene

Maintaining good dental hygiene is crucial for keeping your teeth and gums healthy. Regular hygiene treatments help prevent plaque and bacteria buildup, which reduces the risk of infections and tooth decay - and the need for fillings! Just like dental check-ups, coming to see us for routine appointments with our hygienist is vital for optimal oral health and fresh breath.

Denislava Slavova

I have had terrible experiences at dentists in the past where treatments have been rushed or very painful, but this wasn’t the case with Ferry Dental. Instead of rushing into a specific treatment, all options have been explored and explained by Dr. Iuri and all my questions were answered before jumping into any decisions. All staff are super friendly and professional, definitely recommend.

Frequently asked questions about dental fillings

Which type of filling is best?

There isn’t a one-size-fits-all answer. The best filling for you depends on the extent of the repair, any allergies you may have, the location of the filling in your mouth, and your budget. Your dentist will consider all these factors to recommend the most suitable option for your needs.

Are silver fillings harmful?

Extensive research on dental amalgam has been conducted for over a century, and no reputable studies have found a link between amalgam fillings and any health issues.

What if my tooth is severely damaged?

If a large portion of the tooth is damaged due to decay or fracture, your dentist may recommend a crown, also known as a cap, or a ceramic onlay. If decay has reached the nerve, it can be treated either through root canal therapy, which removes the damaged nerve, or through a procedure called pulp capping, which aims to preserve the nerve.
