Dental Fillings Liverpool are used to repair a cavity in your tooth caused by decay. It is important to treat cavities as soon as possible before they advance and require more specialist treatment, such as root canal.
AN INTRODUCTION FROM DR STUART GARTON
The most common type of tooth filling is dental amalgam, made from a mixture of different metals. Dental amalgam fillings are hard-wearing, so they are often used on your back teeth.
Your dentist will offer you the type of Dental Fillings Liverpool they consider clinically necessary. For example, if you need a filling for one of your front teeth, your dentist may suggest a tooth-coloured (white) filling, but the use of tooth-coloured fillings on back teeth is considered purely cosmetic.
