Fillings

Used to prevent the spread of tooth decay or correct any cosmetic damage, a filling is just one of the ways our dentists preserve your health. Before placement, any decay must be drilled out. We offer local anesthesia to ensure maximum comfort for our patients, and our fillings are placed following proven techniques. Our and our patients' material of choice is composite resin.  Since the color of a composite resin filling can be customized, it is the most aesthetically pleasing option. Composite resin is also ideal for repairing chipped or cracked teeth, filling in a tooth gap, correcting dental discoloration, protecting any exposed tooth root from gum recession, or changing the shape of teeth. At Helderberg Dental we use modern bonding techniques and materials which allows us to be more conservative and thus we can restore teeth without excessively drilling  away healthy tooth.
