Dental Fillings Chesham

Keeping Teeth Strong and Healthy

At York House, we’re committed to maintaining your smile not only functionally robust but also aesthetically pleasing. Whether you need a new filling or wish to upgrade your old amalgam fillings, our team is equipped to enhance your smile seamlessly.

Comprehensive Dental Fillings

Our range of filling options is designed to meet various needs and preferences:

  • Amalgam Fillings: Durable and cost-effective, starting from £87.50.
  • White (Composite) Fillings: Aesthetically pleasing and strong, starting from £112.00.

“Sandy White, a long-time patient, says, ‘Our family have been with York House for over 30 years. Even after moving away, we travel back for the unmatched service we receive.’”

The Advantages of Composite White Fillings

Composite fillings offer a discrete alternative to traditional silver amalgam fillings. Not only do they repair cavities, but they also correct minor cosmetic issues like chips or cracks, especially in visible areas of your smile.

Dental Inlays and Onlays: The Superior Alternative

When a tooth defect is too substantial for a standard filling but does not require a crown, inlays and onlays provide a perfect solution. Made from durable materials like composite resin or dental porcelain, they fit into or onto the tooth, preserving more of your natural tooth structure than crowns.

Benefits of Inlays and Onlays:

  • Fit perfectly into the cleaned-out cavity, ensuring a tight seal.
  • Less invasive than crowns, preserving more of your natural tooth.
  • Made from materials that match your tooth color, providing a natural appearance.

Dental Fillings FAQS

How long does it take to receive a dental filling?

The process typically takes about an hour, depending on the size and location of the cavity and the type of filling material.

Does getting a tooth filling hurt?

No, the procedure is pain-free. The area is numbed with local anesthesia to ensure comfort, and sedation options are available for nervous patients.

Can I eat after getting a filling?

Yes, you can eat immediately after getting a white filling. However, it’s advisable to wait until the anesthesia wears off to avoid accidentally biting your cheek or tongue.

How long do white fillings last?

With proper care, white fillings can last 7-10 years, similar to amalgam fillings. Their longevity can vary depending on their location in the mouth and your oral hygiene habits.

Our approach

White filling or onlay?

A white filling bonds well and fills the cavity, but if the filling is very large the remaining walls of the tooth can be thin, and under pressure a thin wall can eventually fracture. Where the walls are thin or half the tooth is gone, we recommend an onlay instead, because losing a wall below the gum can mean losing the tooth.

When a filling keeps failing, we ask whether the bite has been assessed. Your bite is not static, and understanding where the stress falls lets the filling be designed to take that area out of the stress.

Charan Nijhar

“An onlay is like a baseball cap that sits over the tooth to protect any walls.”
