Dental Fillings in Droitwich

Repair tooth decay and restore tooth integrity with durable dental fillings tailored to your needs.

Restore Damaged Teeth with Dental Fillings in Droitwich

Dental fillings are one of the most common restorative treatments used to repair cavities caused by tooth decay, minor chips or damaged enamel. At Droitwich Dental Studio, we assess your oral health and recommend the most suitable filling material to rebuild your tooth’s shape and function while preventing further damage.
Whether you’re experiencing sensitivity or have visible decay, dental fillings help protect your teeth and maintain your smile’s health and comfort.

What Are Dental Fillings?

Dental fillings are materials placed into a cleaned cavity or damaged area of a tooth to restore its integrity and prevent further decay. After removing decayed tissue, your dentist shapes the filling to fit your bite and restores the natural contours of the tooth so you can chew and speak comfortably.
Fillings eliminate bacteria-harbouring spaces and protect the remaining tooth from additional damage, supporting better oral health and longevity.

Types of Dental Filling Materials

There are several filling materials available, each offering different benefits in terms of strength, appearance and longevity. Your dentist will guide you through the options and help you choose the most appropriate solution.

Common filling materials include:

Amalgam Fillings

Silver-coloured and highly durable, amalgam fillings are made from a mixture of metals including mercury. They are cost-effective and long-lasting but more noticeable due to their darker colour and require sufficient natural tooth structure for support.

Composite Resin (White Fillings)

Made from tooth-coloured plastic resin, composite fillings blend seamlessly with natural teeth. They bond directly to the tooth structure, preserve more natural enamel and offer excellent aesthetic results.

Gold Fillings

Gold fillings are strong, well-tolerated by gum tissues and can last over 20 years with proper care. They are durable but are typically more expensive than other options.

Porcelain Fillings (Inlays and Onlays)

Porcelain fillings are custom-made to fit the tooth precisely and bonded securely in place. They closely match natural tooth colour and are more durable than composite resin.
