Fillings in Brentwood
White Fillings
Dental fillings are used for fractured, worn-down or decayed teeth. Fillings are sometimes required even if you are not experiencing any pain or discomfort.
Sometimes decay can cause sensitivity. Call our team, located conveniently in Shenfield High Street, which is also only a few minutes from Brentwood, to book in with one of our experienced dentists and we can investigate and treat your sensitive teeth.
It is important to have regular check-ups to allow our dentists to identify any problems early and address them before they get worse. Why not contact us today to see how we can help.
Restoring your Teeth
After careful analysis and examination, combined with xrays our experienced dentists will remove all the decay in your tooth and replace this with a tooth coloured filling.
Some patients also like to have their silver, amalgam fillings, replaced with more aesthetic white, composite fillings. Call the team in Brentwood and Shenfield, to find out more about this process.
Composite fillings will blend in, and look just like a natural tooth. These fillings are placed on front and back teeth. Fillings are often completed over one appointment.
How to prevent cavities and fillings?
Preventative care is one of the most important things we do at Talbot Dental.
Here are some things you can do to reduce your chances of needing a filling:
- Brush your teeth twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste – most big brands offer fluoride in their toothpaste.
- Floss or use TePe brushes twice a day.
- Eating a balanced diet and reducing sugars are very important to prevent fillings. Sometimes we all eat something sugary or sweet, but to minimize your risks of needing a filling, it is best to consume the food or drink in one sitting rather than snacking or slowly sipping, over a long period of time.
- Regular check-ups and hygiene visits will ensure the hard to reach places are carefully investigated and cleaned by our experienced dentists and hygienists.
