Fillings
Lets get your teeth fixed!
Decay can be removed and fillings are used to restore the cavity and prevent complications. At Northwick Park Dental we use various types of fillings, including, but not limited to cosmetic, tooth coloured bonded composite fillings and grey amalgam metal fillings.
Amalgam Fillings
Amalgam is a mercury containing restorative material and its safety, strength and durability are well established. This material remains appropriate for a range of clinical situations. The appearance of amalgam fillings is silver and grey. For amalgam fillings to effective, the cavity design for this type of restoration require mechanical retention and this can often be less conservative of tooth structure.
Composite Fillings
Composite cosmetic fillings offer a natural-looking solution to restore teeth affected by decay or minor damage. These tooth-coloured fillings blend with natural enamel, providing a discreet and aesthetically pleasing result. Composite materials are durable, resistant to fracture, and can be shaped precisely to match your tooth’s natural contours, supporting long-term oral health. The bonding process also strengthens the tooth structure, enhancing its stability. Opting for composite fillings ensures a healthier, more attractive smile with a minimally invasive approach.
Advice to follow after your filling has been placed
After a filling, avoid eating or drinking until the anaesthetic wears off to prevent accidental biting or burning. For 24 hours, minimise intake of hard or sticky foods to allow the filling to set fully. Maintain regular brushing and flossing, and monitor for sensitivity, which should subside within days.

Having a root canal treatment could save your tooth!
Root canal treatment is a highly effective procedure for saving teeth affected by infection or deep decay. By removing infected tissue within the tooth, it alleviates pain and preserves the natural tooth. It is usually recommened to have crown or onlay placed on a root canal treated tooth and this prevents the tooth from fracturing and restores function. Root canal treatment is a minimally invasive treatment that may prevent the need for extraction, maintaining your smile and promoting long-term oral health.
Benefits of having root canal treatment
Pain Relief: Root canal treatment alleviates pain from severe tooth infections or inflammation.
Prevents Extraction: Saves the natural tooth, avoiding the need for removal.
Maintains Function: Preserves chewing and biting abilities, ensuring normal function.
Aesthetic Retention: Retains the natural appearance of your smile.
Prevents Infection Spread: Stops infection from advancing to other teeth or gums.
Improves Oral Health: Reduces the risk of further dental complications.
Long-lasting Solution: Properly treated, root canal results are highly durable.
Cost-effective: Avoids the need for more extensive, costly restorative treatments later on.
