Patient Support
Fillings are used to repair teeth that have been affected by decay, wear or minor damage. They help seal and protect the tooth, restoring its shape so you can bite and chew more comfortably. At Park Street Dental Practice, we offer both traditional amalgam fillings and tooth-coloured fillings, depending on what is most suitable for the tooth being treated. Your dentist will look at the size of the cavity, where the tooth sits in your mouth and how much pressure it takes when you bite, before recommending the best option.
Amalgam fillings, sometimes called silver fillings, are known for their strength and durability, especially on back teeth where there is heavier chewing pressure. Tooth-coloured fillings are designed to blend more closely with your natural teeth, making them a popular choice when appearance is important. In some cases, if a tooth needs more support than a standard filling can provide, your dentist may discuss alternatives such as inlays or onlays. We will explain your options clearly, including appearance, durability and cost, so you can make a decision that feels right for you.

What are dental fillings used for?
Dental fillings repair teeth affected by decay, small fractures, wear or minor damage.
What is the difference between amalgam and tooth-coloured fillings?
Amalgam fillings are silver-coloured and very durable. Tooth-coloured fillings are designed to blend more naturally with your teeth.
Are white fillings suitable for everyone?
White fillings are suitable for many patients, but the best option depends on the tooth, the size of the cavity and the biting pressure involved.
Do fillings hurt?
Your dentist will make the treatment as comfortable as possible. Local anaesthetic may be used to numb the tooth before treatment.
How long do fillings last?
This depends on the material used, the size of the filling and how well you look after your teeth.
Can old metal fillings be replaced?
In some cases, old amalgam fillings can be replaced with tooth-coloured restorations. Your dentist will check the tooth first.
How do I know if I need a filling?
Tooth sensitivity, pain or visible damage can be signs, but some cavities are only found during a dental check-up or X-ray.
A dedicated team of professionals committed to giving you the best care and advice before, during and after treatment.
