Tooth Fillings at SMH Dental Care
Protecting your teeth with precision and care
You only get one set of teeth and gums—so it’s important to keep them strong, healthy and protected. If a tooth has been damaged by decay, a filling can restore it, prevent further deterioration, and keep your smile looking and feeling its best.
What causes tooth decay?
Bacteria in your mouth can cause cavities by breaking down the enamel—the hard outer layer of your teeth. Once a hole forms, the inner part of the tooth becomes vulnerable to infection and further damage. That’s where fillings come in.
Our filling options
At SMH Dental Care, we offer a selection of filling materials to suit your needs:
- White composite resin
- Porcelain and ceramic
- Amalgam (metal alloy)
Many patients choose white fillings for their natural look and discreet finish. These blend seamlessly into your smile, making your treatment virtually invisible.
What happens during the treatment?
Once we’ve helped you decide on the right filling, your dentist will:
- Remove any decayed or damaged part of the tooth
- Clean and prepare the area
- Apply the chosen filling material with expert care
White fillings are bonded directly to the tooth structure, allowing us to preserve more of your natural tooth. The result is a strong, long-lasting restoration that protects your smile and feels completely comfortable.
