Listen to Dr Nehra, our wise and experienced restorative dentist

“We’ve seen time and time again when patients have ignored cavities and holes in their teeth for prolonged periods, which usually always end up in emergency appointments due to severe tooth pain, decay and infection. Unfortunately, patients that ignore problems with their teeth require more extensive and costly treatments like root canals, dental crowns and in the worst cases; extraction.”

Our process for placing tooth fillings explained for nervous patients

We know it’s important for phobic patients to understand clearly what their treatment will look like on the day.

1. Teeth are examined and x-rayed
2. Local anaesthetic is applied to numb the affected tooth
3. The decay is removed, cleaned and disinfected
4. A tooth filling is applied to repair the cavity

NERVOUS PATIENTS

White fillings have longevity

We use a durable and cosmetically pleasing amalgam-free tooth-coloured filling material, which combines powdered glass and acrylic resin to provide a seamless finish.

Feel like you always need fillings?

The need for a filling comes from tooth decay. This is caused by a chemical reaction between the sugars we consume and the plaque bacteria in our mouths.

This reaction creates erosive acids that soften our tooth enamel, leading to the formation of cavities.

If you regularly undergo fillings, talk to one of the amazing general dentists about a preventative care plan, which can help strengthen your oral health and help you avoid extensive restorative procedures in future.

Confusing fillings for crowns

You’ll need a crown if:

• When teeth are cracked, chipped or broken
• When the tooth requires a filling that’s too large for the tooth to support
• When there is too much decay or the tooth is heavily worn
• In situations of extremely discoloured and mishappen teeth
• You undergo a root canal

Dental crowns cost from £740.

Dr. Esen and Olivia were extremely gentle on me. I'm a big baby! Dr. Esen numbed my gum and I felt nothing more while she filled the upper tooth. Thank you.

So pleased I went to the Smile Gallery. I’ve had two veneers done with them as well as my usual check ups. Can’t fault them!

A colleague of mine recommended this brilliant team 👏 😀 that I can only speak highly of when it comes to their professionalism and dedication. I happen to live quite far BUT that honestly is all worth it. Dr Rahul & Dr Jaime ABSOLUTELY THE BEST 👏 👌 I know it's going to be a long journey for me but having such wonderful team will make the process less stressful. I can't thank them enough for being ever so patient, also the ever so lovely receptists whomno matter how busy they are they always welcome you with such warmth. Huge thanks for making a difference to those of us that in a way left it a bit "too late" going to the dentist.
