A major advantage of white composite fillings is that they are less destructive to the tooth and are adhesive. When the dentist prepares a cavity, more of your own natural tooth material can be retained. They are much more aesthetically pleasing and can be worked and polished in a way that makes them look just like a natural tooth. Whilst we are trained and equipped to handle many dental treatments, when we feel that a specialist would be better, we will discuss your needs and requirements and refer you accordingly. Please contact us directly if there are any questions that you have that are not covered here.How do I register with the Practice?
