Fillings

When decay has eaten away at the tooth a hole remains. The dentist needs to fill this hole produced by the decay, a ‘filling’ is thus placed.

Today there are basically two types of filling, ‘silver’ fillings and ‘white’ fillings. There has been much bad publicity regarding silver fillings as they contain mercury. At Dental Design Studio 32 we only do “white” fillings unless specifically asked to do an amalgam filling by the patient.
