Ignoring dental cavities might lead to more expensive repairs.
Tooth-coloured fillings do not last as long as silver fillings but are preferred for their blending properties. Costing from £140.
Fillings are generally recommended in cases of minor decay and damage to the tooth, whereas a dental crown takes care of severely damaged teeth.
The cavity will grow and deepen when tooth decay is ignored for a prolonged period. A filling will repair the tooth when detected at the right time.
However, when decay has taken over a significant portion of the tooth, you’ll likely be recommended a dental crown.
We don’t expect you to know if you need a dental filling, but if you’re in pain, especially when biting down, you should book a check-up with one of our general dentists near Tunbridge Wells, who can examine your teeth and advise on the best next steps.
“I’ve been coming to the smile gallery for the past few years having decided to switch from an NHS dentist. I used to get many fillings which would always fall out but since coming to the Smile Gallery i’ve not had a single problem and it feels like my teeth are brand new again.” Nicholas, Tunbridge Wells (TN1)
