Dental fillings

Dental fillings are used to fill a cavity (a hole that has formed in your teeth) or other damage such as a chipped tooth. Cavities get bigger over time and can progress to more complex concerns, so the sooner they’re spotted and filled, the less likely you are to have problems later.

These days, no one needs to know if you have a filling. Your Oakmead Dental Care dentist will carefully craft a natural looking filling that’s virtually indistinguishable from the rest of your teeth.

Our focus at Oakmead Dental Care is on preventative dentistry. During your routine oral health assessments your dentist or dental hygienist will flag any concerns they spot that may lead to cavities, advising a home care routine to focus on these areas before they progress.

Andy and Sophy were both fantastic at my children’s dental appointment. They were friendly, patient, and made my children feel completely at ease throughout the visit. Their caring and professional approach made the experience stress-free and positive. Thank you both for the excellent care.
